I've been able to find used intel fxp cards on ebay for $20.00 from time to time. I suspect they work better than the realtek cards for $20 :-). I've found some pnic cards locally in an odd formfactor (nlx) for $9.00 and they work great for $9.00, but they are no fxp (see man 4 dc and look for 82c169 PNIC if you want to know why). Also, it hurts having to run them w/o the mounting metal, but for $9.00, I won't complain.
