I need to add an additional ethernet interface in a router box and I have run out of PCI slots (board does not have any PCI-express).

However, there are a bunch of unused USB ports that I can use.

Please suggest USB NICs that are supported by Linux *and* available @ Lam Road.

Brand/Model and shop name would be highly appreciated.  Speed is less important, as long as I can get about 10Mbps on the iface - it will be used to connect to the ISP link.

Instead of going in for a USB Network Interface you can use a Dual or Quad Port PCI NIC. The popular brands include DLink and Intel. Not too sure about their availability on Lamington Road.
