I have a DG834G and have no trouble at all, but then I don't allow anything
incoming from the net (unless, of course, something outgoing has invited it).  This is
not quite true, because I allow Bittorrent requests when I'm getting a file that way.

However, getting a router is not the end of all problems.  The problems only
transfer to getting the network card working.  Luckily modern distros like Ubuntu detect
most cards.
