Subject: cheap low-profile pci ethernet adapters



I'm setting up a small home server. I got a low-power VIA box; the
case is skinny and handles low-profile PCI cards only, and I need a
second ethernet adapter for routing.

Searching on Froogle.com I find a lot of low-profile ethernet cards
but the ones I recognize are not really cheap. On the other hand, the
Startech ST100SLP:

http://www.startech.com/ProductSpecs/ST100SLP.htm

is very inexpensive (about $10 US), comes up prominently in a lot of
my searches, and claims to support Linux. However, searches for that
card and "Fedora Core" turn up nothing. Does anybody know if this
works well/easily in FC3? Or is this brand generally OK? I've never
heard of them.

If anyone has a recommendation for another low-profile PCI ethernet
adapter, let me know.

Thanks a lot,
Matt

If the vendor says it works with Linx, you're probably safe. More than likely it is a "generic" chipset like RealTek or somthing tht will work fine. And heck, for $10 it's preactically disposable - if it doesn't work send it back or just toss it in the trash.
