that's roughly the only thing NICkStacky let me know: you're better to select between NE2000 or RTL8139. They seem to be the best documented (and still cheap) 10/100 base T adapter we have around.

Driver code available, in Linux, Moebius, Bochs ...
and probably many other OpenSource projects ...

do they make PCI ne2k clones?

any cheap nic you get these days is pretty much garunteed to be an RTL chip based nic, so you should be ok.

In numbers! Check your hardware vendor of choice; quite often they offer "no-name" products that are NE2000 compatible.

I'd definitely get an NE2000 as both Bochs and QEMU provide a virtualized version of it. Makes for easier testing!

Boy! i've just hit http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/dow ... word=8139D through a GoogleQuest ... not only does it have the complete specs as PDF, but also a "programming guide" featuring illustrated description of the behaviour, etc. source code (registers, demo with PCI access coded, etc)
