At a reverse-time auction, I bought two computers very cheaply, and found
Ethernet cards in both of them. The place I bought them at has "no idea"
what sort of cards these are... So I decided to ask for help via the net.
_Please_ tell me what sort of cards these are.... The cards are the same
type and model number, but I haven't a clue what cards they are exactly,
except that they would have to be some sort of Network card, presumably
Ethernet.

Any help - ideally per email - would be appreciated.... I'd need to
know the card type and, basically, what drivers I'll need... that sort
of information.... I'd be _very_ thankful for any help.

I'll try to describe the card as well as I can, but I am neither well
versed in technical matters, nor is English my first language. Well,
I'll try:

On the top of the card is a white painted inscription:

MODEL NO WD8003E                         COMPLIES WITH FCC CLASS A

On the right, above the round network socket, is a cluster of
Elkoes (?), cylindrical parts, on an brown TDK KU-3294V-0 plate.
There are NEC and Sanyo parts, and TDK-CE-2054 on a sticker.
Below that, the circular network socket, and below that a "female"
socket with two rows of holes, 8 and 7 holes in them.
The card is about 12 cm high - a normal card - and roughly 15 cm long.
Numerous switches of the sort where you hve to slide a plastic-and-
metal-bridge thing over two pins. Lots ofthese little wire bits with
green or blue stuff in the middle, cloour coded for resistance, most
of them green (gold/red/blue/brown stripes) or blue (orange/white/red/
/gold/brown).

Horizontal Chips, top row:

                                       ^^^^^^^^
The largest chip on the board is vertically mounted roughly in the middle
of the card:
(Double Waveline) +B8924     Sticker: NETWORK ADDRESS
                  DP8390CN            0000C0 C0EE14
                  NS32490CN
This chip is about 1 cm wide, 5 cm long, 24 pins
The other card I have is identical, but has the address "0000C0 A35415"

The chips roughly on the same plane as the circular network plug are:

                  | SN74LS688N        |       | VALOR LT 6003
                  | FFCM8924          | that  | CHINA M 8927N

                |                  | (in the middle:)  | (Sticker on chip:)
                |                  | SN74LS688N        | 62000103001

On the bottom, written on the board "2889", and a "short" (31 contacts)
normal board thing to stick it into the computer.
