Some friends and I all have a bunch of D-Link DE-250CT's, which are
NE2000 compatible.  They all work fine under Linux.  I had to use 
their setup program (under M$-DOS) to set the IRQ, I/O address, 
BNC, RJ-45, and a few other things.  After that, yer set!

Cheers,

Snoopy

Looking around at Don Becker's site, I once found two really handy C source
files for us NE2000 users. 

The first, atlantic.c, allows me to set these irq, i/o, bnc or rj-45, ...
under Linux rather than the unspeakable os. The other, ne2k.c, display the
ne2000 cards status.

I seem to have gotten them from
