3c509 10Mbps combo cards... Of course, YMMV, etc...
Actually, I am referring specifically to the EtherFast 10/100 LNE100TX
Revision four and higher cards. The older ones are garbage.
The box of 20 I bought last December has not served us well...
even though I believe our LAN is the weak point, at least the
Intel and 3Com cards don't crash the PC from effects of the
noise...
