That card probably has an 82c168 "PNIC" chip on it so neither of those 
types will work.  Believe me, it sucks (look at the FreeBSD driver for 
all of the hackarounds for chip bugs).  I have two of those and even 
Linux-2.4 with all their elves plinking on it I can't get crap rate 
through it, unlike the 21140 I have (at least when I tried it last).
