[Info-vax] Additional ethernet (e.g. 100BASE-TX) NIC for Multia/UDB?

The one PCI slot is vacant in my Multia/UDB (or equivalent LCA4 Alpha
system, e.g. AXPpci166 MT) Alpha system) and I was wondering, which
DEC/Compaq ethernet NIC would be ideal and is known to 'work'?  I do
not need SRM-support, as long as it works once booted up into VMS
and/or Tru64 UNIX, that would be more than fine for me.  The on-board
DEC "Tulip" works remarkably well (even in half-duplex) and I'm not
exactly 'relying' on this system, so it's not /too/ important.

I naturally won't assume a "DEGXA" would even remotely work, I don't
even think it did in a PWS 500au (from what I recall when I tried it).
But, what about a DE500-series NIC?
