The NetGear Ethernet cards were based on the DEC "Tulip" chip a while
back. In this configuration they were a very good NIC. However NetGear has
stopped manufacturing these with the DEC "Tulip" chip, probably had
something to do with the fact that Compaq bought DEC, and are now shipping
with something else. So much for NetGear.
