-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have been happy with the Netgear GA311 1Gb copper cards. They have a standard rtl-8169 chipset and have worked flawlessly for me for a couple of years now (driver has been in the vanilla kernel for a while).
I have also been real happy with the Intel Pro1000 fiber cards that I have. Older Pro1000 copper cards have been good to me as well. Some of the newer models (the ones integrated into Intel Chipsets) require a more recent kernel and have been sketchy on older kernels (2.6.9 is pretty old now) and distros.
