What is it compatible with?

If the answer's not obvious, try typing this:

grep -i "d[ -]*link" /usr/src/linux/drivers/net/*.[ch] | less

..and looking through the resulting mess for a hint (the corresponding
module is likely to have the same name as the right .c file but with a
o extension and live under /lib/modules somewhere. Try modprobe
name-of-module if you find anything likely.

When buying a network card, I've found the tulip-compatible cards (e.g.
NetGear) to be the most efficient and reliable budget solution.
