Most cards are supported under Linux Realtek do a bargain basement NIC
for about 6 UKP that I have used very happily on both desktops and
temporarily servers in an emergency.  For about 15-18 UKP Intel do a
great NIC rock solid, PXE enabled (remote booting and other cool stuff),
you can bond multiple cards into a single interface.  If your box is
going to be dual homed this is a card you should consider.

Checkout Alan Cox's and his wife Tesla's diaries for NTL customer
service stories.

Lets just say I wish them ill.
