I've used a DFI (diamond Flower Ind.) NE2000 and NE1000 cloen cards.
I never had a problem with them except that you need to use the novell
ne2000 drivers in bridges.  I used them with both the novell drivers and
their own - both were fine.  I opted for the novell drivers because It was
one less driver to keep track of.  In sets of 20 they ran about $150 bucks.

I've also recently looked ata ne2000 clone from ACCTON.  It was well made,
two big VLSI clips and supporting glue.  They cam with PCNFS, Packet, 3com,
PCSA 3.0 and novell drivers.  They ran with the novell ne2000 drivers fine.
They have a life time warantee and run about 250 single unit cost.
