This NE2000 clone costs me $US 16.00

Dec 9 13:00:09 quark kernel: ne2k-pci.c: PCI NE2000 clone 'RealTek RTL-8029' at I/O 0x6000, IRQ 19.

It shares the CPU well on a SMP machine.

This machine has been up for 18 days with a lot of network activity as
you can see from the interrupts above.

uptime
8:44am up 18 days, 19:45, 2 users, load average: 0.03, 0.04, 0.01
