The easiest route is probably a D-Link DFE-530TX+ PCI card which uses the RTL8139 part and can be found via Amazon in the UK. > I can`t find > any network cards which say they contain the Intel i82544 chipset..

The i82544 featured on the Intel Pro/1000 ethernet card which appears to have been replaced by the Pro/1000 GT card: http://www.intel.com/products/desktop/adapters/pro1000gt/pro1000gt-overview.htm The newer card uses the i82541 part which may or may not be compatible. > One other question, does anyone know if a network card with the Marvell > 88E1111 chipset exists? The 88E1111 is an ethernet PHY (transceiver), not a controller. I hope this helps.
