Any of the common LinkSys, Netgear, or D-Link PCI cards are fine.
Most of them are either 'tulip' or 'rtl8139' (or 'natsemi').

At least some of the *650* cards are supported in kernel 2.4.18.
I don't suppose the DFE-650TX is supported though. All of the 530
(DE-530TX, DFE-530TX, and DFE-530TX+) are well supported, though each
one uses a different driver.
Are you looking for a PCMCIA NIC? If so, I know for a fact that the
D-Link DFE-690TXD works well (8132too, requires kernel 2.4).
