My biased vote would be for a PCnet-ISA driver (it's the NE2100 card
in a chip). It's a low cost, high performance, bus master ethernet
chip which we are agressively designing into PC motherboards. Depends
on whether you're interested in existing systems or future systems.
Sorry about the commercial.
