These are crappy chips and I highly recommend that people stay away from
them. They are the poorest of the Tulip copies, except for maybe
Xircom's. If you look you can find better cards for around the same
price... but don't let Taiwanese suppliers dump this NetGear garbage on
you. It will work, but don't come to depend on it...
