I'm looking for some good, cheap 100BaseT Ethernet cards which are
supported by drivers included with FreeBSD. Unfortunately, the ones listed
in the "Readme" are "name brands" -- and are going for $80-100 instead of
the $20 that most people seem to be paying for Ethernet NICs for WinDoze.
For example, the Netgear FA310TX is priced in the mid-$20's and comes from
a reputable company, but I can't tell if it will work.

Does anyone have a handle on a good, inexpensive brand that's known to be
compatible? I'll need a few 32-bit PCI units and one or two for ISA, so I'm
interested in recommendations for both.
