My wife and I call them "Lower Botswana Boards (tm)" since no one seems to know where or by whom the boards were manufactured. I think I paid $35.00 each for them. They have been in service for almost a year with out any complaints. My guess is that if you are not expecting great performance and on a local LAN most generic NE2000 are OK.
