I got good and bad feedback for Antares. It looks like the 10/100 cards
are rock-solid, but the gigabit cards may have problem when trying to use
Jumbo frames.
Positive feedback also for Syskonnect (http://www.syskonnect.com).
However, now Sun has a UTP Gigabit card (Sun GigaSwift ethernet UTP I
believe ), which is reasonably priced.
