I'm thinking of upgrading my NIC to a gigabit model, and read elsewhere that Intel devices are usually compatible with linux (drivers in the kernel).
I guess you've also got a gigabit switch?
Not sure what you mean. The card will connect to a Draytek Vigor 2800v ADSL2/2+ router.

Then there's no point in getting a gigabit NIC - your ADSL line doesn't (presumably) give you more then 24Mbit/s?
A gigabit NIC will only be useful if whatever it connects to (usually a switch) also does gigabit speeds.
