While shopping for a new server at work I ran across a configuration 
that had a "Broadcom TCP/IP offload engine". It would only work on 
Windows 2003 Server. I'm not sure if these things are common and 
whether there are any that work with Linux, but given the amount of 
Linux-based servers out there it could be a useful product, and a 
network interface of some kind would be very useful then.
