What is the date of your kernel?  The `sym' maintainer just added suport
for the NCR 810 chip.

I use the `ncr' driver on my AS 250 and have no problems with it.  So it
isn't like using `ncr' is a terriable thing.  IMHO the comments beside
`ncr' and `sym' in the GENERIC kernel configuration file tell this.

Unsure.  I don't believe anyone has really tested it.  A $10 PCI NIC will
do very well in the NoName.
