Gigabit ethernet adapter

Anyone have a lead on a USB->Gigabit adapter where drivers are readily available for Ubuntu without a lot of tweaking and compilation?

I have a "StarTech.com USB21000S2 USB 2.0 to Gigabit Ethernet NIC Network Adapter". PXE booting even works. They're available here: 

However, they were (and still are) out of stock there. I found it on Amazon. I do not know if the USB 3.0 version works the same.

I'll give it a shot. I have the USB 3.0 version USB31000S and it takes a decent amount of effort to get it running and doesn't work reliably.

My USB21000S2 is automatically detected out of the box with no configuration.

I use the Plugable USB3-E1000 USB 3.0 adapter. For 12.04's current shipped kernel, download and build the drivers from here (just make and make install):
