I recently bought a Linksys PCM100 10/100 combo card with a built-in RJ45
jack that has worked well on our network here. It claims to be fully Linux
compatible and even came with a free copy of TurboLinux. The manufacturer
does disclaim any tech support for Linux systems though and I haven't used
it under Linux yet so you may want to check the newsgroups for feedback on
it. It was reasonably priced ($49 at Outpost.com and ships overnight free)
and fit our needs.
