You cannot go wrong with an Intel NIC, regardless of OS: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833106123 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833106033 It's one of few cards you'll never have to worry about compatibility headaches, especially in Linux. They just work, and they work well. Unlike the Realteks and Marvells of the world, you can actually get close to GigE wire speed with an Intel Pro 1000 card. -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
