Microsoft nic not working under Linux. Think about that one for a
second.
Go out and buy a $5 kingston,SMC,linksys, generic or something and save
yourself time and effort.
try dlink, some of their nics actually come with linux drivers, or
realtek. realtek i have never had a problem with. (got one here that
must be 10 years old now and still works).
Most MS NICs are really Intel NICs in disguise. If you "lspci -v", you
will probably see the card show up.
However, as tyche says, D-Link, Linksys, Intel, SMC, NetPro, Broadcom
and most others work just peachy.
One word of caution: Don't get a NIC that is based on a Texas
Instruments chipset (D-Link's "+" series, for example). TI has not and
apparently will not (stupid as that is) release the APIs for their
chipsets and therefore have locked themselves out of the Open
Software/GNU/Linux market.
TI once again shoots themselves in the foot.
