The card is currently in a PowerMac 7200/75 running Debian 3.0 with a
Linux 2.2 kernel.  (It's my firewall. :)

I do have an x86 PC (also running Debian 3.0 but with a 2.4 kernel) that
I could test it on, although this is somewhat inconvenient since I'll be
off the Internet while I'm doing the testing.

BTW, the almighty original box that the ethernet card came in says, "For
PCI-bus PC or Macintosh computers", so it should work in both, in
theory.  I also have original PC and Mac driver disks and the original
documentation in PDF format if that's helpful.
