For a general rule, I try whenever when possible to use Intel, 3Com or Broadcom.
 
If you choose one of them, you will be very happy with the results.

I always prefer Intel over 3COm, with 3com I have had very bad experiencies in
the past, lots of timeouts, watchdog problems, overruns loads.

Intel NICs are more expensive but have the best performance IMHO, and the quad
interfaces rules.

Very strange... I'm using 3Com Nics for a long time... Since Netware 3.12... And I never get big trouble with them.
 
But, I agree with you about the Intel NICs. The extra cost justifies the great performance in almost every scenarios.

broadcom,intel ,but we use some cheap realtek 8169 and 8139 based card without any problem(also with EFW).

Avoid desktop board integrated cards(Marvell, NVIDIA, realtek)! (not just EFW, any other linux)

I have had serious issues with the 8169. It doesn't seem to work well under the sorts of loads that a firewall experiences.

        i would avoid broadcom, not only they have some hard bugs in many
revisions, but also for their lack of support for wireless...
        it linux isnt good enough for then to give support, we should pay in
the same manner and dont buy from then.

        Marvel?! IIRC, marvel is at same level (or even higher) performance
than the intel one, with good support for open-source developers but
even managing to being cheaper... or something changed in the past
few years?

Naturally the common people don't want war... but after all it is the
leaders of a country who determine the policy, and it is always a
simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or
a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship.
Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of
the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are
being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and
exposing the country to danger.  It works the same in every country.
