You mean Planex? I got a 10/100 card for around 3000 yen. RedHat 5.1 didn't
recognize it when installing, but you can get a module here:
  ftp://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/linux/drivers/via-rhine.c

The even cheaper 10-base card is a different chip, so might be recognized
okay - if you're lucky it will be NE2000 compatible.
