So I'll just get a new NIC.

So guys, will you please recommend me a good 100MBps PCI NIC ?
I'm TP-Link lover, but If you think another make like D-Link has a better product then please tell me so...

budget is 5$ :|

TIA

You won't get good NIC for $5. A good NIC like INTEL cost at least $20.

Thats too far....

Will just get a D-link from the local market....

If $20 is too much, then don't get the $5 NIC either since you'll end up spending well over $20 replacing the crappy $5 adapter every time it dies (and it will) long before the $20 Intel NIC would have needed to be replaced.
