Gasp! this information is littered all over everywhere and more..
NE2000 compatible cards are your best bet.. I've got one in every
machine here, except the libretto (tiny laptop), great performance
for around $0-$25 (if you pay more than that for an NE2000 card, 
i'd say you're probably getting cheated out of a few dollars :)
