| 10/100?  There are less Gigabit types that are supported, yet,
| but then the reason for that should be pretty obvious.
|
| Anyway, you generally can't go wrong with 3Com.  That said,
| I've never had trouble with 3Com, SiS, DEC/Intel, even RealTek
| and the onboard VIA/Rhine stuff (drivers, respectively: xl, sis, dc,
| rl, vr).
|

| *not* supported.  Also, some users have reported issues with "watchdog
| timeout" errors using 5.X FBSD and one of the drivers mentioned above.

Well Kevin,

Do you know where I can get a 3COM or Intel card for a good price???  I
tried pricewatch.com however they all seem to be around the same between
29 - 35 dollars.
