USB 2.0 + FireWire + 10/100 Ethernet Combo PCI Card to use with router.

Options
Hi peeps,
Anyone know whether this pci card is ok to use: http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?TabID=1&DOY=search&ModuleNo=36739&criteria=pci%20usb%20lan%20cards with this router ZyXEL 660-RC 1port ADSL, router sent from Namesco and as I only have usb1 at the moment I thought the pci card would solve two problems.I'm on dialup at the moment and am waiting to change over to broadband, but don't want to go wireless just yet as an internet cafe backs onto my place and I'm too much of a newbie security wise.

My motherboard is Gigabyte GA-7ZXE model with only usb1. Thanks for any replies or any better suggestions would be appreciated. tweeter.

    Yes that card would be suitable but it is rather expensive if you just need to an Ethernet port, although you would be getting USB2 and FireWire as well and only using one PCI slot.
