FOAK: Identifying a fried component revisited

Excellent, I shall make these my cheep NIC of choice from now on [1].

[1] in fact I more or less had already as the last time I ordered a
batch of 10 [2] from Ebuyer they didn't have any realtek ones so I got
the SIS 900s, can't say I've actually noticed [3] any difference but
I've got reasonably powerful PCs.

[2] I don't know where they go, they are like Biros

[3] One thing I have noticed is that it's hard to buy NICs that do WOL
through the irritating little cable, most of them do it direct through
the PCI slot which is great if the MB supports that, but some don't,
where have all the old type gone?
