I don't have either card, but I believe Linux supports both classes of card, directly in the kernel and as loadable modules. My NE2000 clone simply worked on my 755CE without my having to think about it. My OS/2 install went much less cleanly, and after installing Linux it has not been used. I should say that you should get a kernel later than 1.2.7 (I just installed 1.2.10), because some performance problems with my ethernet card disappeared after around 1.2.8. Now I'm getting in excess of 5Mb/sec on thinwire but only about half that on twisted pair (dunno why--I don't know the technology). Regards, Eugene Fiume.
