Well, it depends on the brand actually. :)
I suggest you get Edimax Lan Cards. Dirt cheap but works great in Linux. It uses 8139too kernel driver, which Mandriva readily supports.

Thanks, Paul.
I've tried installing all the drivers on Mandriva's configuration tool
with "Realtek" or "RTL" in their names. None worked, unfortunately.
You know of any other means I could install a driver downloaded from
somewhere? (There are no drivers available on realtek.com.tw.) But then
installing linux "drivers" is not as straightforward as installing
Windows device drivers, is it?
