I know it ain't Linux, but we have a whole slew of systems here at work
that use Jaton v67 cards with a Trident chipset. The thing won't
autodetect under NT4 (but will under NT5b2). More importantly, they won't
function correctly with the standard generic Trident driver, even though
the driver provided by Jaton calls itself a generic Trident driver. For
your functionality under Win95, I'd make sure you use the driver supplied
by Jaton. For Linux, shoot Jaton. Just from using their v67 cards, I'm
not overly enthralled with them.
