Indeed it would, and indeed there are! From the part number you quote I would
guess you have an NE1000. There are pkt drivers for both the NE1000 and
NE2000. I use the NE2000 one from time to time myself and it works fine.
I haven't yet seen one for the NE2 though. I get my PD's from
"sun.soe.clarkson.edu". I understand this to be the central repository
outside of NetWire. They have an archive server if you don't have FTP.
