1 - I don't recall her saying that it was a Netgear card at all
2 - I have definitely used the DE4x5 (so did someone else on this 
list based upon my suggestion) on tulip chipsets - and many of the 
cards also emulate the NE2000 and if the emulation is in the card, it 
will work.

I wish that you had simply stated that you didn't think my suggestion 
would work instead of making the insinuation that I was incapable of 
seeing the obvious. I don't like your remarks, I didn't like the tone 
and I think you are lacking tact and class. Yes, there are many times 
that I have been wrong and I am likely to be wrong about a great many 
things in the future but that should never be cause for you to be so 
antagonistic.
