Intel pro1000 cards or onboard chips.
I'm not sure if RHEL4 has support for the latest Intel Pro 1000 cards - though Intel cards are definitely recommended. Just make sure the kernel knows about the chipset. Buying cards one or two revisions behind the current model via ebay can also yield some nice savings. FreeBSD lists the supported chipsets in the man-page of the driver: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=em&apropos=0&sektion= 4&manpath=FreeBSD+7.0-RELEASE&format=html
I'm not sure if people at RedHat (or people writing drivers for the linux-kernel in general) actually know how to write a man-page - but I'm sure this information is somewhere in the kernel-documentation - or in the driver source...
Will look more into this.
Do your workstations have PCIe or PCI-X slots?
We have all three vsrisnts in our midst.
PCI
PCI Express and
PCI-X
