Here are the supported gigabit drivers from
http://m0n0.ch/wall/downloads/M0N0WALL_GENERIC  (kernel config)

There is no complete list of which cards that includes.  Since many
different manufacturers use those chipsets, and they change chipsets
all the time, even on the same model at times, it's virtually
impossible to keep track.  Best you could do is find some cards that
match your specs, then find out what chipset they use.
