Mike,
I have a tried many nics under RH 4.2 - 5.1 and have found the 3 Com
905tx 10/100 to be my card of
choice. It's reliable, fast and a breeze to configure under Linux. I
currently have here at work a pentium II 300 with 96 megs in it, and a
3Com 905tx on a 100 megabit network pipe........it's a beautiful thing
folks.......a beautiful thing!!!!! The 90xb cards are either buggy or
don't work with RH. Get your hands on a 905tx if you can....works like
a charm...
