[ydl-gen] Re: Yellow Dog compatible Ethernet NIC 10/100

[Pat Plummer, MD]

Eric:

I run a RealTek/RTL8139 chipset fast ethernet PCI card in an Old  
World PowerCenter Pro using OSX 10.3 and the OS has no problem  
detecting the card and using it. I bought a 5 pack of these cards on  
eBay for a song. Both Darwin and Linux (my ANS has 2 of 'em on board)  
have no problems with this chipset near as I can tell. With regard to  
AppleTalk, just background the netatalk startup and make sure /etc/ 
atalkd.conf knows about the new interface. Job done :) .
