Can I get some people's recommendations on PCI/PNP network cards
that run very stable under Linux 2.4. I hear the Intel 10/100 eepro based
cards are good but are a little more costly. What about D-Link, Realtek,
Linksys etc for $10-15 cards. I am only looking for 10/100 Mbit cards. Do
not even begin to recommend 3com 905 based cards which is the cause of my
headaches currently with Fedora :-).
I have a dozen or so machines running Linksys cards. I've purchased most
of them for about $5-$10US, and some were free after promotions and
rebates. In the past 3 years, one has died.
I didn't have as much luck with Realtek 8139 based cards and have seen 4
die in the past two years. Don't remember the manufacturer however.
