If I may give you a piece of advice, try before you buy. I have two
NE2000 PCMCIA cards, one works just fine under both AmigaOS and
NetBSD/amiga, while the other hangs the A1200 as soon as attribute
memory is read. This is a hardware problem on the Amiga side, as
Ignatios said.

The only thing I can tell you is that the awi driver compiles OK, but
I never had any such card to test.

BTW, Ignatios, here are the drivers that compile (the ones commented
out caused a kernel build failure the last time I tried some months
ago) :
