I have been using a net5501-70 with an Intel Pro 1000 GT PCI card, using m0n0wall (FreeBSD) with good results. The card fits like a glove. You have to remove the 5501 board, connect the 1000 GT NIC, and then slide everything into the back panel of the case, re-attach the 5501 board. I did some quick throughput tests a few months back: http://forum.m0n0.ch/index.php/topic,875.msg3306.html#msg3306 Recommended.
