[wplug] Which network card?

[John Harrold]

Sometime in May John Strange assaulted the keyboard and produced:

| 3com/Intel 10/100
| 
| You can't really go wrong with either, I know there are cheaper ones but
| I'm not a fan of the tulip network driver with all the revisions from
| hell.

i've also had really good expirences with this card. i would also recommend
the intel eepro 100.

i've had problems with nics that have realtek chipsets (i think netgear
uses these), and i would avoid these.

 "Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of
  the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to
  drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship,
  or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the
  people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is
  easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and
  denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country
  to greater danger."
