Most cards should work. The key is to find out what chipset the card
is based on and from that you can determine which kernel module to
use. I have a couple of Linksys LNE100TX cards (tulip) that work
fine. I also have a NetGear EA201 (ISA NE2000 clone) that also works
fine. I have heard that rtl8139 cards work as well. Pick a cheap
card -- if you pay more than $20USD you are getting ripped off. If
you get the card during a sale you can get it for as low as $10USD
(the last Linksys I got was $10).
If you find a card you think you want, feel free to email back and
check on its usability.
