I have had some bad experiences with really cheap ne2000 cards. In fact
the card in my girlfriends machine right now works on her linux disk, but
not her windoze disk. We could only get it to work on irq 15 which
happens to conflict with the secondary IDE controller.
I also had a very unpleasnt experience with the first nic ard I used back
in 1995, an Intel Ether Express. Some times it would work fine, but most
of the time the machne would completly lock up before 50 pings.
