Bonus points if it supports 2.5G. For PCIe I would go with wm(4). Look for "Intel pro/1000" or "Intel pro/1000 server" on amazon.de. It doesn't do 2.5G but there are dual and quad port options if you have a LACP capable switch. For USB, axe(4) and axen(4) [search term: Asix Ethernet adapter] have historically worked OK for me but ymmv. Wouldn't go with a USB NIC if you have PCIe slots available. -Tobias
