Are you being confused by the fact that linksys started labeling the
nic controller chips "Linksys LNE100TX"? It is still a tulip clone.
Or, have they come out with yet a fourth version?
I have a fairly new Linksys LNE100TX wake on lan card with
the "Linksys" labeled chip (really a Pnic Liteon) running on with
the stock driver (tulip.c:v0.91g-ppc 7/16/99) in
redhat6.2beta

Amusingly, what I couldn't get that version the LNE100TX to work with was
MS-Windows. It was plug and go under linux.
