I have a couple different ones at home that work out-of-the-box with
FC3 (2.6 kernel). One is single-port adapter and the other is a multi-port 
adapter. I'll post the make/model info when I get home.

I can't recall the exact sequence of my hardware purchases and my OS 
upgrades, but it seems like I had the single-port adapter working prior
to FC3, possibly even FC1, but the multi-port adapter didn't work
until FC3.
