I would need to have the card to lok at the chips, but I need to know
what card is good before I order it and before I can look at the
chips.

so first check what chips it uses before ordering ask manufacturer/seller.

or if it's intel - buy without checking :)

The Intel PRO/1000 series should all work fine.

I use the intel PCI-X cards with multiple OS's.  They have 2 and 4 port 
versions.

  4 port versions.

/Nota bene/: I bought an (AGP) PRO/1000 GT dual port a while
back. PRO/1000s generally were harder to find and (if I remember
correctly) the two- and four-porters more expensive per port tham
/N/ single-port cards.

PCI-X cards are quite cheap here (up to 4 ports) second-hands because 
newer computers doesn't have PCI-X. same with SATA controllers

Thanks, but I have only one slot (1U rack) and I need 2 ports, so I
have little choice :)

Bests,
