Check out the D-Link DGE-550T
http://www.dlink.com/products/gigabit/dge550t/
It appears to be supported in the 2.4.x kernels (maybe 2.2 but I don't
have that to check) and it lists for only $89.
I've actually been thinking of trying these myself so, if you get them
and they work well, I'd love to hear about it.
