The olicom PCI card works very well too. It supports promiscuous mode
(at least the OC-3137 I'm using). You've to download the kernel patch
from Olicom's web site and recompile it with the kernel. I don't know
for the Madge, but with the Olicom ones, the device, strangely enough,
is called "eth". So I've a few boxes with eth0 and eth1, eth0 being a
token ring adapter and eth1 an Ethernet one...
