I googled this card before I installed it and saw that it either took the via-rhine or the realtek driver, so I compiled both into the kernel as modules (and left the tulip one in case I wanted to put the old crappy Linksys back in).

The card initialized immediately when I rebooted the machine. No problems. The old card I took out had a problem with uptime and this one doesn't seem to want to go down, which is an excellent thing!

It uses the 8139too module.

I had this card for a while, just recently installed MAndrake. Only problem I had, was that i had to change the link speed. Which was done using mii-tool.

Now, i have NO problems.
