(By cheap I mean <$100/node, preferably < $50.) With 10Mb or : better performance, too. (The upstairs box has my CVS repository, don't want : to cvsup at 1Mb constantly...) I cvsup all the time with a 2Mb/s card and it is very fast. NFS is a little slow and complex X applications are a little sluggish. Having said that, you can get dlink cards for about $130 a pop and they are 11Mb/s. http://www.comready.com/dlindwwirlan.html is one place that has them for $120 plus shipping.
