Are you being confused by the fact that linksys started labeling the
nic controller chips "Linksys LNE100TX"?  It is still a tulip clone.
Or, have they come out with yet a fourth version?


I have a fairly new Linksys LNE100TX wake on lan card with
the "Linksys" labeled chip (really a Pnic Liteon) running on with
the stock driver (tulip.c:v0.91g-ppc 7/16/99) in
redhat6.2beta
   
Card Description (typed in manually when machine was configured):
   # Network card: Linksys LNE100TX
   #    PCI Bus`
   #    Boot rom socket
   #    Chip: Linksys LNE100TX  LC82C115  C9933  TA445291  37DDX
   #    Transceiver module:  YCL (R) 20PMT04   9927M
   #    Legend: P/N: 6804057406 REV:A3

>From /proc/PCI:
   Bus  0, device  15, function  0:
       Ethernet controller: LiteOn Unknown device (rev 37).
         Vendor id=11ad. Device id=c115.
         Medium devsel.  Fast back-to-back capable.  IRQ 11.  Master Capable.
         Latency=32.  Min Gnt=8.Max Lat=56.
         I/O at 0xe800 [0xe801].
         Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xe4000000 [0xe4000000].

Amusingly, what I couldn't get that version the LNE100TX to work with was
MS-Windows.  It was plug and go under linux.
