AFAIK the older Linksys EtherFast cards used "real" Tulip chipsets and the newer ones use the "Lite-On" Tulip clone chipset. There are also some other Tulip clone chipsets but I've never seen a Linksys with anything else. The only problem I've ever run into with these cards is that they sometimes have trouble detecting the correct mode (ie. 10Mbit/100Mbit or Full/Half duplex). If you run into that problem you can specify the mode directly when you load the module. -- Ray
