    6 years of networkin' expirience shows me: this must be card without PnP
capabilities, or this PnP may be disabled manually via setup programm or
jumper.
Intels are better. IMHO. ISA-based 3COMs and old PCI 3C590 and 3C90x based
cards
not too bad. Latest 3C90x still very buggy. I can use them only under
wynndoze.
    So, nonamed, dusty NE2000-compatible can give you more stability and speed
than sophisticated brandname.
