asterisk users - Nov 2007 - Kernel Native PCIE Network Cards?

Hi, I am getting a new sangoma t1 card soon and that will max out my
slots, which means i need to take out a card.  I am going to take out my
pci network interface card (10/100)
 
I have an open pci-e slot i have never used in the machine so i am going
to buy a pci-e 10/100 or gigabit network adapter.  I want to find one
that works natively with the linux kernel.  I hate using hardware that
requires additional drivers in linux and have read tons of nightmares of
people trying to get pci-express nic drivers to work with linux.
 
So if someone could point me to a card that is natively supported in
2.6.15 i would appreciate it.
 
Thanks
 
Mike

If you're happy with your current network card, may I suggest you buy a
PCI-Express T1 card instead?
