I have had excellent results with a couple of Intel e1000 cards. lspci says this about the chipset and such.
Intel Corporation 82541GI/PI Gigabit Ethernet Controller I'm sure the chipset is different now, as this card is about 4 years old, and you would probably want to find a PCI-X card now, but at the time these were among the better cards regarding latency, cpu usage, etc. Most of these cards should work out of the box on any distro. I have also used a Linksys 1064 (not the exact number), but it did not have PXE booting built-in, and there were no etherboot drivers at the time, so this would not be a good fit for a terminal. For the server it provided good results, but I believe I had to manually add the kernel module since it would not autodetect. -Todd Daniel Mealha Cabrita wrote: > We (at work) have lots of 3C2000T.
