[Cialug] best supported/performing Ethernet adapter?

[Nathan C. Smith]

I think it is a true statement that not all Ethernet cards and their drivers
are equal.  My sense is that the inexpensive realtek and VINE chips/cards
depend more on well-written drivers than intelligence built into the
chips/cards.  Can anyone recommend a well-performing 100 megabit card with
good Linux support?  Are 3Com and Intel cards good choices?
