I second the previous suggestion. I just deployed a machine to act as a router, it's been up routing traffic 24/7 for the last week on two intel/pro network cards without any problems yet. The drivers these cards use, em(4), was written by Intel, so the cards are fully supported without any crippled functionality. Newegg has a few based on this chipset for about $30. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833106121&Tpk=PWLA8391GTBLK -Modulok-
