I have worked with both the STARLAN and ETHERNET cards --- and BOTH will
NOT WORK IF THE CONTROLLER IS NOT IN THE COMPUTER.  This is due to the 
device drivers also doing socket handling.  I.E. The socket code is not
independant of the controller driver.  HOWEVER, both cards will run WITHOUT
having the controller hooked up to other hosts.  Since the driver han have
a conversation with the controller card, programs will work.
