As far as I know, EVERY 10/100 card out there is currently supported.  I'd
shy way from the 3c90x cards if possible.. but the D-Link 530TX ($17!!)
cards are a bargain 0- they'e based on the via-rhine chipset.  The D-link
10/100 cards are okay if you get a newer revision or the oriignal based
on the venerable Tulip chipset.

AVOID the Realtek 10/100 cards if you possibly can.
