I'm looking at:
<http://www.eglobalonline.com/ProductDetail.asp?id=342>

which seems to match up with:
<http://www.dlink.com/products/support.asp?pid=122&sec=0#drivers>

if so, then there's a linux driver; before purchasing I'll try and
confirm that I'm looking at same NIC.  this NIC'd be sufficient for
VOIP?  it's advertised for $9.98 canadian and I found a friend to help
with the install.  I haven't looked into the chipset yet.


thanks again,
