I've had a lot of good luck with SMC 8013s. I also like the 3Com
Etherlink IIIs, but they're hard to find cheap. I ran into about 15
8013s that someone was throwing away since they'd upgraded to PCI cards
... not a bad price for me :) At $1.50 they're a great deal ... I also
like the two hardware jumpers on the SMC versions for troubleshooting.
