If this is the same problem I found, you're out of luck with those cards. You
see, older LinkSys cards DID work with the tulip driver. However, if you do an
lspci on that box, you'll see that they are now using a BridgeCom chipset,
which doesn't seem to have ANY drivers under Linux. I eventually gave up, and
went with an Intel Pro/100 card. $80 at CompUSA, but it was worth it to end my
frustration with cheap 100BaseTx cards.
