Don't have any experience about the specific model of the sony, but
sony's support is disastrous, so if you depend on their support in case
of trouble, don't.
I have their pcg-fxa53. It is a conexant modem and is workable and the
ethernet is realtech which is a simple card but is supported, although
mine did have trouble (right now only works when locked into 10Mps half
duplex mode).
