A realtek card will cost you 10UKP from TCR computer fairs, it a good
solid card with out any frills but you can not have more than one in a
machine and you can not do PXE.  If you want something like that try
Intel there etherpro 100 is about 35UKP though you maybe able to get one
cheaper.  I personally don't buy second hand I only scrounge it. ;-)

I am sorry got to share.

This week I am mainly playing with bonded nics on gigabit switch with
dual controllers and it fsckin' rocks. 8D

Yes I know that there are people out there that play with much bigger
toys but this is the first time I have got to play with kit like this
and I like my networking stuff sooo much. :)

Peace Jim
