The AOpen ALN-101 is NE2000 compatible. It will work fine. But you will
probably need to know what irq and memory address it uses in case the
install doesn't find it when it "autoprobes". If that happens, you'll have
to "specify options" and put in something like "io=0x340,irq=10".
(obviously, replace with the right values for your card)
