RS6K standard Ethernet card supported?

The RS6K B50 comes standard with the PCI IBM 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Adapter (unless its token-ring, fddi, of course!).
During installation, the Selection of Network Devices screen does not directly offer this as an option. Also, the Hardware Database doesn't show any IBM ethernet cards as being supported.
I was going to choose NE2000 (PCI), but in the SuSe knowledgebase, there are some articles saying this may not be a good idea (kfr_16) or that the system may not recognize the card (rb_nwkconfig).
Has anyone found problems with the on-board Ethernet adapter on the B50 under the NE2000 PCI driver? Did you use another driver?
Thanks for your help.
