Overclocking friendly NIC

I don't know if this belongs in this forum or the networking forum, but since it's mainly because of overclocking...I'll post here. I have a Netgear FA311 10/100 NIC running my DSL connection, but I just read over at overclockers.com that the card does not work well under overclocked conditions. What would you guys recommend? Any specific models?

Oh yeah, it also must be compatible to able connect to a DSL connection.
 
I have the same card in my T-Bird case thats a 700@900, and it works fine. That PC is acting as an ICS for all my cracking boxes, and all connect fine. Now on the other hand if I raised the fsb above 110 it would start to get flaky. So I guess it depends on how you overclocking the system.

Most PCI cards can take MHZ up to 38 or so, after that it can be a crapshoot.

I have had the Netgear NIC running @117 FSB (1/3 divider=39)with my home LAN and generally have no problems at all. It is when I try and clock higher I get Network problems requiring a Registry flush for the Netgear drivers, removal of the TCP/IP stack, then reinstall everything. Most of the time it works properly again, but sometimes it won't and requires a full OS reinstall (boohoo).
