Are you going to be on a 100mbps network?  If so, look for adapters that
are supported by `aue' (look at the driver for the list).

If not, my bet is on the NetGear EA101 ... it's cheap, and works pretty
well ... it's the `kue' driver.

Note that there are really only 3 USB Ethernet variants, and all of them
within the same variant basically work the same.
