I use a Netgear MA401 in a ISA->PCMCIA bridge.  Works great.  used to have an 
Intel card (under Linux), till the WIndows XP drivers had a manadtory 
firmware upgrade that rendered it useless.  BTW, those PLX adapters are crap, 
I have two machines using them upstairs, and neither performs super well 
under extreme IO loads.
