The site says almost nothing about the cards, but on a tip from a
coworker I bought one the last time this site had them for sale, and
have been extremely happy with it. lspci shows:

I just got mine, and ordered a bunch more...

These are the Phobos p430 NICs.  I have extensively benchmarked 2
of those NICs that I got as eval copies, and they perform as good
as or better than the 570tx, using the standard tulip driver.

I just noticed lots of these are on eBay too, so I'm guessing a whole
bunch of them got surplussed.  This is good news for me, because they
are too expensive if you try to purchase them from other channels!
