No it's not (supported). We're talking about the "blue board"
ISA eexpress 10 card here. We've tried this card with all
kinds of network drivers first before we had to resort to
reverse engineering the DOS driver to see what was different.
About the worst networking part, I believe this card is a
serious contender with the 3c501, but there are some places
around where they happen to have a *huge* number of these
cards around; they're not going to replace them any time soon ;)
