Perhaps you should search the archives for the NIC you have in mind, and 
also ask this list.  I did that last week and it worked out well.

You might also check out pfSense which is based on M0n0wall but the 
platform is more accessible (i.e. for adding software, which presumably 
includes drivers).  I don't know; I prefer the M0n0wall setup and 
philosophy.

Overall I'd agree, but I'd qualify the point slightly.  As I noted in a 
thread last week or so (referencing a couple of threads from 2004-2005), 
ZNYX ZX346Q Quad Port 10/100 cards do NOT play nice with M0n0wall. 
Perhaps in theory they are "supported" but in practice they don't 
actually work.  Searching the archives for that will find both other 
comments to that effect, and a (non-trivial) process for adding the ZNYX 
drivers to the image.

As noted, I asked this list what cards work well and then just bought 
some cheap.  I will thank the list and summarize/report my findings when 
I receive the cards and install them.

HTH,
JP
