Our servers here are Kingston NIC's using Digital 21140A.  We've never
had any problems with them at all.  We've got Cisco switches and I can't
remember ever having a problem with any network cards in general.  The
3Com card in my box at home died a mysterious death however, so I'm not
sure if I'd want to go through that again.

Now if I could just manage to cram a PCI NIC into my SGI Indy I'd be
happy.  The NIC on board died mysteriously also.  But hey it's just a toy
anyway.
