NIC - Intel Pro/1000.  Don't mess around with anything else.   Broadcom
NetXtreme is preferred by some server manufacturers, and they seem to work
well, but there has been some issues with linux kernel drivers in the past
(resolved now).

Switch: Netgear GS724T.  Non blocking, jumbo frames, web mgmt, VLAN capable,
supposedly layer 3 capable but I can't find it in the mgmt interface.  $339
on newegg, worth far more than $339.
