[CLUE-Tech] Support for new Linksys lne100txNIC?

[Match Grun]

I used to buy these LinkSys (Etherfast) cards. I have three old ones which work great.

Then I bought another one of the newer ones about a year ago. It works with Linux but not with Windows/95 or 98. Now I don't trust any of the newer LinkSys cards. All the older models just keep on working just great.

Whereas version 4.1 evidently supported Linux (it had Tux on the box and everything) the manual for my new card specifically says that while Linksys cards have tested well with Linux, Linksys does not support Linux for this card, and does not provide Linux drivers.
