The Tulip cards seem to suffer from minimal braindamage. They are cheap
and fast. Some people have driver problems which seem to be related to
the way different models implement the SROM. I've 10-T cards from DEC,
Kingston, and Linksys without any trouble at all. I would expect similar
results from the 100Mb stuff.
