> Ethernet adapters vary greatly in performance. In general the
newer the design the better. Some very old cards like the 3Com
3c501 are only useful because they can be found in junk heaps
for $5 a time. Be careful with clones, not all are good clones
and bad clones often cause erratic lockups under Linux. Read the
