smc-ultra (and 8390, of course), eepro100 (may be switching to e100?).  I
think I'll abandon those Intel clone cards that take the eepro - it seems
to me like the module is just to buggy to go through the trouble of trying
to get them to work.  I've discovered I have a couple of cards that take:
1) the ne module; and 2) the ni5010.  I don't know if and when I'll ever
use these, though.  Right now I'm relying on the smc-ultras and
eepro100/e100's.
