Mandrake 6.1 (Helios)
I would rate the compatibility higher, except for the fact that the dmfe driver (included) requires kernel 2.2.x or higher. I was originally running RHL 5.1 (kernel 2.0.36) and I couldn't get it working, so I upgraded to Mandrake 6.1, and now it works fine.

This card has worked without any problems with SuSE 8.1 and Slackware 9.1. It also includes Linux drivers which I have not had a need to use since both distros found it.

Kernel (uname -r):

Distribution:
Slackware 9.1
I've tested it with both tulip and dmfe - works perfectly.
Slackware 9.1 used tulip by default when I installed it. When I upgraded my kernel to 2.6.5 I started using dmfe as I missed tulip when I was looking for it in make menuconfig (it was there though).

Kernel (uname -r):
2.6.13-15-default
Distribution:
SUSE 10.0
Worked fine on SUSE 9.x with tulip driver. Upgrading to SUSE 10.0 preserved the settings and also worked. A clean install of SUSE 10.0 failed though, and could only be resolved by switching the driver to dmfe. (In YAST, select "DM9102 PCI Fast Ethernet").
