I'd stay away from jumperless cards, for linux, since the configuration
utility is usually only for DOS. ( i dont know if linux has a config
proggy for them) 
If you are after cheap cards you'd probably get an NE2000 clone. 

I found the jumperless ones were $45 when I bought one (isa 16bit), last 
year.  Which I swapped for a Western Digital SMC 8013 card.
