     Caveats:
     
-    I don't believe 100BaseTX daughterboards will work.  I am interested
-    in any reports.
+    I am not sure if 100BaseTX daughterboards (for those cards which
+    support such things) will work.  I haven't had any solid evidence
+    either way.
+
+    However, if a card supports 100BaseTx without requiring an add
+    on daughterboard, it should work with 100BaseTx.
+
+    The "Netelligent 10 T/2 PCI UTP/Coax" (b012) device is untested,
+    but I do not expect any problems.

-	4. Make sure klog is running so the kernel messages are

-	5. Run the following sequence of programs in order (you
