CNET Pro-200 NIC PCI

[Warren Togami]

CNET Pro 110, 120 and 200 cards use the tulip kernel module.  Unfortunately,
you may need to upgrade your kernel due to slight incompatibilities with
older versions.

In my experience CNET cards are VERY BAD.  They tend to transmit corrupted
packets with all kinds of wrong MAC addresses.  I made the mistake of buying
12 Pro 110 and 120 cards, and Eric Hattemer had the same problem with the
Pro 200.  Each and every one had this problem either at the very beginning,
or it developed over time.

On some networks like RoadRunner this is somewhat tolerable and you only get
bad thru-put, but Eric's dorm at USC rejected his card entirely when it
detected all the corrupted packets coming from random MAC addresses.
