The easiest thing I've ever installed in any Linux environment. Works with the via-rhine driver that comes with every linux kernel I've ever used (to date) and it doesnt really get any easier than that...
Cheap card, and I've had used it for 6 years - flawlessly I might add.

I used the 8139too module. It didn't auto detect so I had to fishing around trying to find which module to use. Not a bad card, wake on lan works but you have to enable that manually every time you boot (as root: ethtool -s eth0 wol umbg) unless you add it to the setup.

I have 3 card like this one and none has the same chipset.
It can be one on the following chipset :
-Via-rhine
-Realtek-8139
-NE2000 compatible

I once had problem with this card, I was unable to get it to work if PnP was on in BIOS. Turning PnP off fixed it.

This card was detected automaticly and have had no problems.

With a DFI motherboard I had some kind of hardware memory area collision problem with this card but it was not related to Linux but the motherboard.
