1.) I had a gsip() card a long time ago and it worked not very well.
2.) re(4) based card are known to be slow and consume a lot of CPU power.
3.) sk(4) based card are apparently a good compromise between performance
    and price. But there apparently a lot of different SysConnect chips
    and our driver doesn't support all of them.

None. I prefer this one:

I have two of those. They work rock solid and fast. Unless you consider
your time worthless I would *really* recomment those.

	Kind regards
