I've had excellent luck with some sohoware cards cards from NDC.  They're
labelled as "sohoware fast auto 10/100 pci fast ethernet card", and go for
$20 at CompUSA, with a $10 rebate on the first two that you buy.  They come
with a slightly modified version of the v0.90 tulip driver, and instructions
for use under Linux, but the .91g-ppc driver that comes with the 2.2.14
kernel works fine with the card, also.  I have a 100Mb FD switch, and have
seen >10MB/sec transfers on files in the 20MB range.  The cards are based on
the Macronix MX98715AEC chip, not actually a Tulip, but really close.

They're unbeatable for the price.  I've bought 8 or 9 of them, and have had
no bad ones in the bunch.  (and I don't work for the company or any of
that).

Just FYI.
