What you need to look for in them depends what they are being used for.

Intel 10/100S+PRO Managemnt cards. Use them all the time, works great!!!

 

[Supergax]

urbantechie is correct.

I also have to agree with urbantechie they are great cards I have two at home and about 400 at work and they all work great but my 3com 3c905b's give me trouble once in awhile same thing with the 3c905c's in my cisco academy class

edit: my cards are Intel Pro100 +management

Intel PRO/100 cards simply rock. 3Com cards are also very good.

 

[Akaz1976]

cool i am buying the intel pro one 🙂

 

[urbantechie]

Good choice 🙂.

Intel is nice, but I use Netgear 310tx's all the same.

I would suggest 3COM NIC, or any cards using RealTek 8139 chipset.

My Intel pro/100+ management's are nice.
plus they're cheap too 😀

And ultra small, anybody notice that?
