I'm not asking you to buy one of these cards.  If you don't like Intel,
don't buy their products.

Side note: not all of Intel is as evil as you think -- take a look at their
I/O processors sometime -- for quite a lot of their stuff, full documentation
is available on the web... it's just their LAN networking products group
that has these NDA issues, and they've had an NDA policy since their first
PCI Ethernet cards came out.

Gee, I wonder if you have any cards that work with the fxp driver...
