I haven't had problems getting cheap NICs like Linksys, D-Link, and 
Netgear to work on Linux in a long time. If you do decide to use the 
cheap ones, I'd suggest getting a backup or two. I've found I have to 
replace one or two of these a year on my seven computer home lan.

I have two machines with Intel 10/100 cards that have been running 
without problems for years.
