heheh not sure on the drivers...
I think it was the latest version and it was the tulip.c version that I
tried...
But no one has a problem with Netgear?
I know I ran into some problems with Networksolutions cards.... cause they
did not use the tulip driver properly...
And I think I got a linksys LAN II card or something... That was also a
headache...
I got some older PCI 3 com ones here at work that are 10 base T but work
fine... I dont have to install anything.. I just put them in and they work
:) That would be ideal... I am tired of fecking around with drivers and
cards and blah blah blah
Gives me a headache
