Thanks Keith,
They have a semi-informative page with pictures of the chips they use
here:
http://www.linksys.com/dlc/howtotelllne100tx.htm and corresponding driver
disks for download
However, these are for Linksys branded NICs. The apparently budget line
Linksys made "Network Everywhere" PCI NICs seem to have a separate page at:
http://www.networkeverywhere.com/downloads.html
and for the NC100 PCI NIC, the drivers are still the tulip.o for 2.0.34 as
mentioned below.
I hope to try compiling some different versions of tulip.c for this Linksys
"Network Everywhere NC100" product later today. Thanks.
