I've found numerous offerings from 3com but they arn't listed as supported. ie 3c900 and 3c905. Are they supported but just not listed? Also the intel cards seem to be cheaper and offer 100mbit. Am I safe with going with Intel? I have 2.1.7 installed from a CD and will be doing a FTP install of 2.2.2 after I buy a card. The only PCI cards I can consistantly find in stores are the above mentioned 3com cards and numerous Intel etherexpress cards. Recomendations? Thanks Trey rhyde@uclink4.berkeley.edu
