The EtherFast card I have, which I bought relatively recently, acts as 
a more-or-less stable PNIC card and works reasonably well with the
tulip driver.

The 10/100 autosensing goes nutty if I disconnect the card from my hub 
while the machine is up, though, so I do have to try to avoid that.

Other than that, it does seem to work.
