Ideally, you want one using a Digital 21xxx series chip (tulip driver),
I have yet to find a card using these chips that hasn't shown up as tu0.
The dec-branded card with this chip is the de500.
DEC has switched to the Intel Ether Express chip in more recent cards,
and they'll show up as ee0 (and so on). The problem here is that there is
more variance in the Intel-based cards so you can't expect a random
card to just work.
The dec-branded card with this chip is the de600.
