I'm not running -current ( 4-stable ), but I've had great success
with the NetGear FX-410 PC Card Nic. Be sure to look at the 410 and
not the 510. Their 510 is a CardBus unit. Uses the ed driver, does
10/100, although I can realy say how close to 100 it would do. It
even has usefull leds. I believe these can be found around $60 at
most places, like Amazon :

You can get more info from NetGear's web site :
http://netgear.baynetworks.com
Although it appears to be down right now.
