I'm not sure about newer kernels but from my experience,
the linux kernel doesn't have built-in support for
some Intel chipsets. It actually surprises me.
I had to compile a kernel module for an onboard chip
(forgot which) on my RH 6.2 (yes, it still works :) ).

The last card I saw had on its back "works with windows NT" and also something like "works with Novell" and even mentioned it had drivers for SCO! . The vendor has not bothred updating this box for some 4 years! The diskette inside had some "linux drivers" (some .c files, and a README on how to compile them. Needless to say that the card is well supprted with linux , w2k, xp, etc. In other words: PCI ethernet cards are well supported under linux. :-)
