My local discount-pc dealer used to use realtec 8139's as a low cost, no name NIC. The realtec's appearently has a bad reputation. Now he carries a CNet 10/100, with a Davicom DM9102 chip on it. It is the same price, around $20 as the realtec's I have only tried it at 10Mb. Is Davicom better or worse than the realtec's? So far, the only difference is that davicom has better documentation, and is open-source friendly, it appears. They are even listed at www.freebsd.org/commercial/hardware.html (That at least seems to be a good reason to support Davicom...)
