<P>Ethernet adapters vary greatly in performance. In general, the newer designs work better. The only advantage to using some very old cards like the 3C501 is that you can find them in junk heaps for $5. Be careful with clones; not all clones are good clones, and bad clones often cause erratic lockups under Linux. Read the Ethernet HOWTO file for full detailed descriptions of various cards. Linux supports the following Ethernet cards:
