I have looked at the link for available Red Hat NICs but I'm just not figuring out which card I can use. I'd like to go to a gigabit NIC for my local side of the server. I have easy access to this card (http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?c=L_Product_C2&childpagename=US%2FLayout&cid=1129151689795&pagename=Linksys%2FCommon%2FVisitorWrapper&lid=8979522279B04) and am wondering if it would work. If not, what other gigabit card can I use by name. I'm having no luck with the Red Hat site. :\

these are intel server NIC
you can also look fro broadcom ones..
this is the output from lspci on a hp ml115 server:
06:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5721 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express (rev 21)

Thank you so much for your help with this. :)

Is there a list compiled somewhere of good NICs? The Intel ones you linked to are more expensive than I want to put into this. Surely there's a sub-$50 card out there to upgrade to Gigabit. If I were to put that much into the server I'll build a new one with Gigabit in it.
A little background on my server; it's for advanced home use. I'm not running a business or anything like that. It's important that it stays up and running, but not "mission critical" and certainly not worth enterprise pricing. :) Thanks for any help.
