An important point Bob makes is that Ethernet is readily affected by stray
RF.
In addition to ferrites on the Ethernet cables themselves, I find that
ferrites on the power cable to routers, switches, bridges and the like are
very important as well.
It appears many units made have little resistance to RF.
Like Bob, I also find that Linksys units perform well.

I've had the radio connected to the internet for a couple of hours now.
Completed several QSO's with good transmit audio reports and pleasing RX
audio.
The laptop is a Gateway M325 X (M622UCX) running a Pentium processor 1.60
GHz with 1 Gig of RAM. Operating system is Windows XP Pro (SP-3)
The router at the radio is a Linksys model WRT110. I did find that ferrites
with about 4 turns of the CAT-5 cable configured on each end of the Ethernet
cables not only helps reduce receiver noise but seems to reduce the burps of
data on transmit.
OnePlug is configured with Compress RIP, Compress TRIP, Double TRIP, and
Lock TRIP to RIG Timing. PC mike gain is at 100%. Rig A Gain is 35% and
Speech Processor is 51%. The USB headset is a GigaWare device from RS.
I did suspend all of the automatic updates that run in the background of the
computer. Looking at the Windows Task Manager, it shows 33 Processes, CPU
usage at about 13% to 22%. The only Application running, per Task Manager,
is OnePlug.
I find that it works quite well.
