Re: Network cards.

3c501 cards should not be used anywhere, of course.  

I've heard some bad things about ne2000 clones, but have used several from
different manufacturers and never had a problem.  Performance isn't great,
but considering the price, they aren't all that bad for a small network.  

Of course, if you get some recently-introduced cards, there might be a
wait until somebody writes a driver. 

The Ethernet-HOWTO has some good advice in this area.
