Etherlink is 3Com's brand name for their Ethernet products.

The setup is identical except for which patch you use. See
http://www.chuma.org/newton/ethernet/ for details.

which, let's face it, does not require the maximum performance out of
an Ethernet card.
Are you having any specific problems getting the card to work?
