	I also have one of these, and have used more, and they are excellent
cards. One thing to keep in mind, though, is that Netgear no longer uses
the DEC 2114x (tulip) chips on them. I believe (someone feel free to
correct me if I'm wrong) that they use a Kingston chip of some sort now,
though it also works fine with Linux.
