Over the next couple of days I will be posting "blanks" which I would like
to see if people can fillin.  Preferences would be for the vendors to respond
with a filled in card, but users filling in the blanks from manuals will
also suffice.  If you know of other manufacturers/card model numbers please
send them in as well. 

How do people feel about including prices?  Would this be contrary to what
a scorecard is for?

Very soon there should be some more details for some of the cards available.
I have a Packet driver and a NDIS driver tester which will give maximum packets
per second transmitting & receiving (I still have to find something which can
generate piles of transactions, IE fastest transmitting card out there)

Here is a list of the manufacturers/model numbers I have ready to be filled
in.
