I've got these cards (I've chucked the box, and the floppy disk is VERY
vague in its labelling, so I'm not absolutly 100% certain).  They are plug
and play and whilst I have not used them much under LINUX, I've had no
problems.  I configured the addresss for the NE2000 driver according the
the parameters the Windows '95 driver used on boot up.

I did have to send one back after DOs setup program failed to recognised
the card (but that can happen to any card vendor just about).
