for home network gear - i have used both the linksys SR2024 and the dell<br>
powerconnect 5324. they both support vlans and have full mgmt - command<br>
line and web. the linksys is about half the price of the dell. they do<br>
not do layer 3, which for home use isn't needed i'm guessing. for the<br>
nics i'm a big fan of the intel e1000's - they have good support for<br>
linux and have done well for me. i use cat5e for connectivity and get<br>
good throughput on the network.<br>
