I noticed several people have spoke out against Linksys NICs.  Am I
missing something?

I have several versions, from the LNE100TX 2.0, 2.1 and 4.1 to the
[Network Everywhere] NC100 2.1 and have had 0 problems with Linux. 
At most I had to download and compile the Becker/Scyld drivers for
the newer Centaur 985 chips on older kernels, but other than that I
have had 0 issues.

Now I _have_ had "issues" under Windows with these NICs, but not
with Linux.
