What are your needs+expectations? (expected network traffic, load,
server, desktop...)
What chip is the card made of? (look for technical specifications)
Is the chip/card supported by Ubuntu Linux Kernel? (google/locate
chipdesignation)

There are nothing like vannilla good or bad products but products that
suit your needs+price-range.
