Hi all,

I'm thinking of purchasing a new network card and was wondering about
getting a mid/lower-end gigabit one.

Can anyone recommend one with good Linux support?

Buffalo LGY-PCI32-GT using 'tg3' driver. 00:0f.0 Ethernet controller: Altima (nee Broadcom) AC9100 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 15) Subsystem: Melco Inc: Unknown device 0320

I've been using them for a while.  I thought they may have been discontinue/replaced 
with a newer model, but expansys is still listing them on their site (AU$66.45)

Anything based on NS's DP83820
00:0a.0 Ethernet controller: National Semiconductor Corporation DP83820 10/100/1000 
Ethernet Controller

I have a couple from a kuroutoshikou.  They do run hot, but work well with older 
motherboards.
