Reliable USB NIC?

I know it sounds like an oxymoron, but I'm looking for a reliable USB NIC
that's supported by FreeBSD 4.8 or -STABLE. It's going to be attached to
my cable modem (currently 512kbps down, 128kbps up, transferring a few
hundred MB daily) so speed is not really relevant. What I do need is
something that will stay up for months -- essentially the time between
kernel upgrades -- without needing any attention from me. Sadly it has to
be USB, since the machine it's going in only has room for 1 PCI card, and
that's occupied by the wireless adapter.
Hmm, I guess 'not too expensive' and 'available in the UK' should be on
that list too :-)
Does such a beast exist?
Cheers,
Scott
