These do seem to be the most common, include ne2k-pci in it (the PCI
variant). I don't remember the model, but a Dell system at work had
a builtin IBM NIC that needed a special module from IBM. Check at
www.scyld.com (Donald Becker's employer, he made the drivers) and
ibm.com for details on your NIC. The important info is not what the
NIC can do, but what chipset it uses.
