The "Sohoware 10/100 Fast" card sold at CompUSA for <$20 is either this same
card or another Tulip clone. It's also very quick--blows away the 3Com
cards.

I can second this; I had a Tulip card go bad, had trouble with an
Intel 10/100 card, and so grabbed the NetGear FA310-TX which claimed,
on the box, Linux compatibility. Works fine.
