I have a dozen or so machines running Linksys cards.  I've purchased most
of them for about $5-$10US, and some were free after promotions and
rebates. In the past 3 years, one has died.

I didn't have as much luck with Realtek 8139 based cards and have seen 4
die in the past two years. Don't remember the manufacturer however.
