The Intel PILA8460B (Pro 10/100B) goes for 36$ US locally. Its three times the price of the 12$ Realtek card, but I argue that their worth the extra upfront cost. On a slightly related note, is anyone working on a driver for the PILA8460C3 that uses its hardware crypto? I was supprised to see them going for 39$ US.
