Just what I needed to hear. :-( As part of our computing zoo, we have two dual ppro boxes, one running Linux, the other one FreeBSD, plus this AXPpci33, and two KNE100TX cards currently installed in the intel boxes. I intended to move the KNE100TX from the Linux box to the alpha, since the Linux tulip driver is a mess (on our machine it won't do full-duplex), and put something that's both sensible and sensibly supported, say an EtherExpress, into the intel box. Scratch that idea. > 3coms should work fairly well...
