I bought a $30 Iwill (VIA chipset) card and it works fine. Auto-detected and no drivers required in XP.

If I were in your shoes I'd just buy a cheap TI chipset card, since most cards out there are TI chipset cards anyway. Sort of like the cheapo Realtek or D-Link NICs. Work fine with no real issues but cheap as borscht.

Just picked up this one at Fry's for $50. Will be installing on Thursday, and I'll let you know how it goes.
