Re: 2-part NIC question
It is older, but I have used the NE2000 driver succesfully with PCI
NE2000 clones (before the ne2k-pci driver existed).
It's been a while since I have used 1.3, but I did have problems during
an installation of Debian 2.1 in getting the ne2000 driver to work.
After installing the base system from floppies, I was able to insmod
the driver and the card performed adequately. You might have to pass
the IO and IRQ values when loading the module.
