Any recommendations for an eCS-supported PCI-bus Gigabit LAN card,
especially Linksys, Netgear or D-Link (as likely to be more economical
than Intel or 3Com). What about NexxTech or Dynex, if they exist (store
brands of Circuit City and Best Buy, respectively)?

From other sources I have found out that Linksys EG1032 ver. 2 (not
ver.. 3 -- they changed the chip but not the model no.) and D-Link
DGE-530T (until they change the chip too) work OK.

... and now I have verified this for myself: I have the Linksys card
working in my file server and the D-Link card working in my wife's
machine -- both in Gigabit mode -- after patching the driver on each
machine to match the card's Vendor ID and Device ID.
One way to recognize the Linksys cards that work is from the picture on
the box: if the large chip has what looks like a "W", it should work.
(The chip is mounted upside down, and what looks like a "W" is
actually
an "M" -- for "Marvell").
