I see just enough complaints about various gigabit network

Anyone using gigabit (and actually using the bandwidth
too :-) who can recommend some adapters that work well
in fedora 11?
I've got PCI as well as PCIE 1x slots available (PCI
only in some systems though).
If Jumbo frames are important to you, choose your hardware carefully, as
some Gigabit nics (including some from Intel) cannot handle jumbo frames
and some can but not full size i.e. <9k).
Some examples (a bit old bit demonstrates a point).

For example, I recently purchased an Aopen MiniPC MP965-D, and it cannot
do Jumbo Frames at all :( these particular devices are _extremely_
Linux unfriendly.
