It is a good first network card to program because it follows a simple design (making it helpful for learning), they're probably dirt-cheap, and it is supported by most PC emulators. Both [[Bochs]] and [[QEMU]] provide ISA and PCI implementations.
Ne2000 is not technically a card, it is a standard that several implementors follow. The best available description of the initial standard was located [http://www.national.com/pf/DP/DP8390D.html DP8390D/NS32490D NIC Network Interface Controller] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20010612150713/http://www.national.com/ds/DP/DP8390D.pdf
