>Western Digital did quite a range of eth cards in it's heyday. The classic
>one was the WD8003, which (rumour has it) was optimised for LANtastic.

>A good test it to look at the FCC ID and go to
>http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid/. eg I have a scsi card with "FCC ID
>KQ53181A-1" written on it. KQ5 signifies Domex make the card, and 3181A is
>the specific device, which happens to be a 3181A scsi card (although they
>don't usually match that closly).

>Otherwise use www.google.com to search for the chip part number, eg a
>quick search for DM9101F brings up a link on the D-Link website for the
>DFE-530TX, which should be able to use the same module.

>Lastly, physically install the card in your linux box, and when ready, su
>to root and run "lspci".
>This provides a list of PCI attributes, and in a large amount of cases, it
>will have a description of the card and what it's main function is. This
>is similar to checking the list of PnP/PCI devices that sometimes pops up
>under the BIOS info when most motherboards start up, and the OS hasn't
>loaded yet.

>Once you have the information on which card it is, look for a module named
>similar to the product name, or e-mail us again.
