PCI Nic recomendations

[Iain Stevenson]

Reading the number on the Ethernet controller chip is your only guarantee 
of a tulip!

I have a Farallon Fast EtherTX-10/100 which is a Tulip and has worked 
perfectly from day one in one of my 9600s.

I also have a Netgear 10/100 Ethernet Network Card (bought from Fry's when 
I was on your side of the pond) Model FA311.  That's a bit fussy ie it 
doesn't work with one port on my hub.  However, the driver's had a bit of 
work done on it recently so it may be better.  The card uses a Natsemi 
driver.
