Right now I have a bunch of computers. I started out with 2 machines and
2 Netgear FA310TX cards.
One of the Netgear cards died -- I replaced it with the FA311
Then I went with the CompUSA brand because it is cheap, also Hawkings
Techologies which is cheaper than CompUSA branded cards. All have worked
well.
When I have to put an NIC in someone else's computer I get the cheapest
available card.
Lately I won't take a computer that doesn't have LAN capability built
into the motherboard. I've built 2 computers and both have onboard LAN.
That's the way I want to keep it in the future.
I guess I've been lucky!
