Recommend USB2/Hi-speed net adaptor?

[bgowland]

My mobo doesn't have an on-board NIC so I'm currently using a PCI one. I may need the PCI slot for something else so I'm looking to go to a USB network adaptor. Any recommendations?

I've seen a Linksys Etherfast USB2/Hi-speed one for a reasonable price. I'll possibly go with that unless anyone has had bad experience or can recommend anything else.

Cheers,
Brian

I just bought a Netgear FA120 USB 2.0 10/100 adapter at CompUSA a couple of weeks ago. It was $29.99 and it works perfectly.

I had the same problem. I have a Dell with 2 PCI slots (One slot had my PVR-500MCE and the other had the ethernet card). When I decided to add an additional PVR-150MCE I needed that slot so I got the Netgear USB adapter.

Good luck with it,
Brian H.

Thanks I'll take a look at that although it'll probably cost the same in GBP as you payed in US$ - you guys get all the best deals.
