Careful with the Linksys 10/100 under Linux, or any 10/100 NIC with a "PNIC" Chip.
I've been to the website of the writer about two months ago, and discovered this
little note:
"Due to the lack? of documentation on the PNIC chip, autosensing
the network" is/was not a feature of the driver the author could provide.
However, if you manually set all networking parameters (instead of running on DHCP),
the NIC should work just fine. Best of luck.
