   I've been happily using SMC EtherPower cards based on the 21040 and 21041
Tulip chipsets for about a year now.  The only problem I've ever had is the amount
of time taken to recognise the media (which I expect to be a common Tulip driver
issue).

  I buy mine from National Memory Solutions in Melbourne (03)9723-9666.  They will
probably do mail-order if you're not local but I'm not sure as I've never asked...
