I'll second that.  I've not done any real world studies, but I spent a
couple of weeks reading the Linux and BSD drivers, and some of the
manuals I could get for the Tulip cards, and they're really nice. 
Unfortunately, I can't find anybody who has a really good
return/replacement policy on cards who uses the tulip chipset.  I sent
back an Intel PCI 10Mbit card recently, and since they didn't make that
anymore, the sent me one of their nice "server" cards, with a bunch of
neat tricks built in.  (PeeCee Wake on Lan, that sort of thing)
