I need people out here to give me their suggestions on which Ethernet card would be the best and that you yourself would recommend that I use for both Window$ and Linux... If possible I would appreciate the Brand and Model of the NIC.....

I currently have a D-Link DFE-550TX, but some of my friends suggest 3COM and LinkSys,
which one of these two would be best...

Thank You to all who respond..:confused:

Well Does the one you have now work in both? If it does I dont see anyreason to change.
I have a few LinkSys EtherFast Nic from wall-mart and they all work fine in Linux Mandrake and windows.

There's a thread going on about your NIC and Suse at http://sysopt.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=91341&highlight=linux

I've had no problems with either the 3com 509's nor the 905's. I personally haven't gotten full 100Mb out of the 905's in Redhat though :(.

I currently use a Linksys LNE100TX NIC card and it works very well for me. Comes with driver disk and should cost about $20-25 at most stores. One of the best I have used.
