- there is a small number of cards, usually older ones, which
will work only with de4x5 or will work better with it
- there are various Tulip cards which maybe will work with
a driver which is included in a kernel but will spit on de4x5
- various newer 21143, especially from places like NetGear, will
refuse to budge with both of the above and will require a
driver from 0.90 series which you will have to grab from
Donald Becker's page.

In other words - what fits depends really on your hardware and
hardware is not created equal.
