We use Netgear cards here at work and I have mainly D-link ones at home.
Never had any problems with either of them (except for the
tulip/via-rhine confusion with the 530TX, which was just me not reading
the docs right). Basically you should find a card that meets your needs
and is the right blend of the cost vs reliability tradeoff and stick to
that brand and model once you have done a bit of research on how well
supported it is (that is what the ethernet HOWTO
[http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Ethernet-HOWTO-4.html] and linux hardware
compatability [http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Hardware-HOWTO-12.html]
guys are trying to help us with) and some testing of your own.
my 2 cents
