   My biased vote would be for a PCnet-ISA driver (it's the NE2100 card
   in a chip). It's a low cost, high performance, bus master ethernet
   chip which we are agressively designing into PC motherboards. Depends
   on whether you're interested in existing systems or future systems.
   Sorry about the commercial.

Vendors who want drivers get to pay me to write them.  :)
