[Cialug] best supported/performing Ethernet adapter?

[Theron Conrey]

That always seems to be the driver in any of the servers I've built.  
Works well.  This is a realtek card, was wary at first but debian picked 
it right up no issues.  I'll second that bit about the linksys cards 
however.......
