No; usually NetGear and LinkSys use the tulip driver, since both of these
NICs are usually based on the DEC chipset.
There is a issue with some of the later revisions of this chipset NOT
working properly with the tulip driver (revision ... 2.1d?), according to
some posts I've seen on my Linux Router mailing list.
Have you tried the very latest tulip driver - .92? or is it .93 ?

Without question
