Like this: http://www.cnesmart.com/plus/view.php?aid=139
I can't say that's the exact same model as one of the ones I've used, with the same chipset and all, but it looks just the same.
I see that page says the NIC is supported by Windows 2000, so I would be surprised if no Linux driver has been developed by now.
Searching my computer it appears, although I can't say for sure, that I paid less than $10 for this adaptor.
