I've always had good luck with the Intel cards (use e1000 driver in linux I believe - that might not be the name of it but there is one and it works well.) They are like $30 though, dunno if that classifies as "cheap".

The D-Link DGE-530T claims to have linux support (RH 7.3 and up), It's $22, although I've never used it myself. (A quick newegg search shows that the D-link for $22 is about the cheapest of the "big" brands - all the ones cheaper than that are brands I've never heard of.)

but I recommend the Intel.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a cheap gigabit PCI NIC that
works well in Linux, and at least acceptably in Windows? I have a
gigabit switch coming in today, and I'd like to get our computers on
something faster than 10/100 (I, unfortunately, need to push DVD images
from one computer to the other for conversion purposes).
