Gigabit is overkill, the router is only 10/100 megabit and your DSL is only around 1 megabit - and the wireless maxes out at 54 megabit. All you need is a standard DFE-530TX+ 10/100 card (or any cheap 10/100 card, brand really doesn't matter for wired nics as long as the chipset is not terribly proprietary - the DFE-530TX+ uses a Realtek chipset that's compatible with every OS I've ever seen - there are no brand compatibility issues like you sometimes see with wireless), I buy those by the dozen and use them in everything but mission critical servers which get Intel or 3Com cards.
