I have experience using the Broadcom BCM57xx cards and the Intel gigabit
(E1000) cards.  Both work find, although you may have issues with the
tg3 driver used with the BCM cards.  To fix that, edit the
/etc/modules.conf file and change any "alias" lines that specify the tg3
driver to specify the bcm5700 driver.  Examples:

Change

	alias eth0 tg3

to

	alias eth0 bcm5700
