We've had the same problem here, it's next to impossible to get a Znyx card here in Germany - their sales people were very helpful but there's just a single reseller here in Germany. We decided to try out the Adaptec Card and it's working pretty well. The only thing is that with the current setup I have to ifconfig the interface twice before the media type (10BaseT/100BaseT) is auto detected for the Hub we're using. Setting the media type manually doesn't work at all. The performance is pretty good tho once the interfaces are up.
