Honestly, if you're having that much trouble with them, I'd check
your other hardware... We've got almost 60 computers using them at
10Mbps/half-duplex, another 25 using them at 10Mbps/full-duplex, and 3
servers, 1 at 100Mbps/full-duplex, 2 at 10Mbps/full-duplex.
I won't entirely rule out the possibility of your cards being bad,
but we've had no problems with them at all... 38 of the aforementioned
machines either dual boot or solely run linux, as well...
