which cards do you use ? I used to be quite happy with my Accton 1652's
(ISA, thin coax) but one of them broke down, and I'm having a hard time
finding a replacement. Tried one SN2000, one RL2000, neither works. I get
the impression that the automatic media detection on these cards fails.
Should I (1) get a hub and switch to UTP (2) get PCI versions (3) get some
other NE2000 clone, or (4) use a different card alltogether ??
I need something wellknown, because it must be supported by DOS/WIN, WIN
NT, WIN95, OS/2 on the Pentium and by WIN NT on the Alpha/AXP. And, most
important, by Linux on both architectures.
