I've got an Intel Pro 100+ but I'm becomming increasingly discouraged at the problems people have with this card either via transmit timeout errors or poor performance. I don't get any errors but performance is a concern. I've used these nics by the tgruckload at work on NT. A friend of mine replaced his with a 3COM and his Quake3/Tribes/Unreal tournament Server had noticable performance increases. Hmm.

You know its funny... Linux controls network cards with a lot more problems
than any other OS I've seen.

I heartily recommend the EtherExpress Pro's tho, I have two and they've
been great. I also have a 905B-TX, but I don't run Linux on that machine :D.
