I have been very happy with NetGear network cards and switches. In the US, the Best Buy chain of stores has a sale on NetGear equipment every six weeks or so. The cards (FA311) are usually $20, but I picked them up for $10, and they had a $5 mail-in rebate on top of that. I also bought one of their switches (FS108) which has eight ports and supports 100Mbps full-duplex connections, for $90. These cards work with the sis driver (miibus is a prerequisite) and function equally well on FreeBSD, Linux, and Windows. In fact, Windows XP now has built-in support for these cards, and does not need the drivers from the included floppy disk. -- Paul A.
