They are worth a second look only if they are willing to be more open towards open source projects. Entrega has complitely killed my appetite for their projects by their lack of interest and instant reply with NDA's. And with respect to the PCI plug in card: It's supported. There are however more sexy cards available from Entrega: 4 ports instead of 2 (builtin hub).
