We've had good success with Intel cards.
If your server is PCI only (not PCI-X), try:

If you want PCI-X, try:
http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=33-106-117&depa=0
If you need PCI-X and two interfaces, try:
http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=33-106-202&depa=0
All of these cards use Intel's open-source "e1000" driver. (I believe
that Intel is still maintaining it, and that the kernel developers go
re-sync against Intel's latest version occasionally.)
