If it is NE2000 compatible, it should work with Linux or FreeBSD
no problem. In Linux, you want to use the "ne" kernel module if it is an
ISA card, or the "ne2k-pci" module if it is a PCI card. Slackware comes
with these modules and all you should have to do is run "modprobe
<module>".
They should work in FreeBSD also -- although I couldn't give you
very specific details, as I don't know a whole lot about FreeBSD; that's
why I'm on this mailing list. =) But NE2000 cards are very standardized.
If you have trouble finding one that works, go to CompUSA and pick up a
$15-20 D-Link PCI NIC. These are NE2000 compatible and I've found that
they work rather well. Most any NE2000 compatible card should work though.
