Mark,

Any reason for the USR network cards, I've been using Netgear FA311 for a
while now with no problems, about  £14 inc vat from dabs.com, should add
that they're being used in a Linux Beowulf doing astrophysics suimulations
, hence go get pushed very hard.

Interstingly if a little off topic I see that netgear have release 54Mbps
Access Points for $536

Also I do get the impression that there are problems with the Vigour USB
solution.
