tulip clones, such as the Lite-On chips that NetGear now ships in
fa310tx cards, WORK FINE. they work fine. they work fine!
they are tulip _clones_, only minor modifications of the original
chips from DEC. they work fine. they work fine. yes, when a vendor
comes out with a new stepping, you might need to update your driver,
BUT THEY WORK FINE. there have been reports of interrupt-sharing
problems with some tulip cards (clone or not), but there are fixes,
even for the "heritage" 2.0 kernels.
when in doubt, look at http://cesdis1.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/
or the test subdir there, or a linux-tulip list archive, and/or try 2.1.
