 An awful lot of cheap cards use the RTL8139 chipset so my first approach
would definitely be to try that. If that doesn't work, tehn take the card
out and look at the biggest chip on it for name/numbers. If OTOH the biggest
chip says "TRUST NIC" or somesuch then the simple approach isn't going to
work :-)
