Thanks for the advice. I have ordered a TRENDnet 2.5GBase-T PCIe Network Adapter, TEG-25GECTX. I will post my result this weekend.Intel-based gigabit ethernet cards are probably best out there. If ye want to make use of this 2,5gbps, look for Realtek-based (they need non-freeness (non-free firmware) to work, though).
Avoid Broadcom-based as they have pretty restrictive firmware distribution policy + they ain't as reliable as Intel's anyway
It nearly always doesn't matter who manufactured the card, the most important is the chipset it has
