While I've never seen a good list, it is certainly easy enough to get the
kernel-src rpm, go into the /usr/src/linux directory and run 
'make menuconfig' or 'make xconfig', and browse through untill you find
the list of network adapters.  There are quite a few (under menuconfig you
have to turn on some general-looking options before you can see them all).
Also, the make command has to be done as root.

May I ask why you feel the tulips are ideal?


Hope this helps,
