 I've been using Accton EN2216 card on Linux more than two years. I never
had a troble with it. It is recognized during booting. I used this card
on lots of kernels since '2.0.0'. Now I'm using it on 2.1.103+patch.
I wonder Manuel's problem exists on Notebook. Does other Ethernet card
work fine?
 I usually recomend Accton card because it works fine also with Windows95.
And it's relatively cheap.
