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.
