Personally, I like to buy tulip based cards. One you might easily get is the KTI KT-320 (or was it KF-320? Both exist, one is el-cheapo, the good one is at about 40..50 EUR or US-$).
Some time ago, I also used eepro100-based cards. But since Intel has started to put these into their chipset (as it seems with some additional silicone bugs, which freezes the box with eepro100, but not with working-around Intel's e100 driver) I don't use them any longer...
