  The Intel Etherexpress Pro/100B, and boy are they cheap these days, and
price just keep coming down.  My cost has dropped $18 in the last three
weeks, and seem to be going lower.

  Also, the Pro/100B is the only card that support full-duplex ethernet
under FreeBSD right now.

  SMC used to make really good cards, but lately they have been changing
chipsets far too often for my taste.
