They have a different interface to the kernel, though I don't know by how much. > Linksys and Netgear are 2 cards I have had little problem with in previous > and current kernel versions.

RH7.1 I used the stock driver (either > tulip or natsemi, I don't remember). RH7.0 used a 2.2 kernel, so I'm not suprised that Mr. Becker's drivers worked great.
