Intel EtherExpress Pro 10/100 B PCI Cards are the best we've seen so far.

We have been using Adaptec 2940UW's and 2940U's with these cards ever
since 2.1.5, and there haven't been any problems with them so far.  As an
example, we run the following combinations:

Gigabyte 586HX with a Cyrix 150+ and a 2940UW with an IBM DCES 1 Gig
SCSI-2 drive, Intel EtherExpress Pro 10/100 B, FBSD 2.2.2-RELEASE

Gigabyte 586HX with a Cyrix 150+ and a 2940U with a DEC 2-Gig SCSI-2
drive, Intel EtherExpress Pro 10/100 B, FBSD 2.2.1-RELEASE (soon to be
2.2.2-RELEASE)

Gigabyte 586ATV (VX) with a Cyrix 166+ and a 2940U with a DEC 2-Gig SCSI-2
drive, Intel EtherExpress Pro 10/100 B, FBSD 2.2.2-RELEASE

Asus P55T2P4 with a Cyrix 166+, Adaptec 2940U and a Seagate 1-Gig SCSI-2,
Intel EtherExpress Pro 10/100 B, FBSD 2.2.2-RELEASE
