I've used both the Netcomm and the Kingmax and they are both decent 
cheap network cards. As a rule of thumb any network card that is less 
than $40 is probably using the Realtech 8139 chipset which is 
supported in the linux kernel. I haven't had any problems with the 
Kingmax (My gateway has two of these cards in) cards that I've used 
and do recommend them (because they are cheap and they work).
