I recently purchased a NE2000 clone 10base2 card from MEI/Micro (800-634-
3478) for around $32 (in quanities of 1 to 3) and Linux locates the card at
bootup with no problems. Of course I am as you. I use the card in a home
setup to learn with, so I can't vouch for how well the card will function in
a mission critical environment.
