i got a dlink usb 10/100 nic.
i modload usbcore usb-uhci and pegasus (the dlink nic driver) It all works nice. As for transferring your hd. I know you can ghost windows partitions. For linux i tar gzipped the whole dir structure. Only problem is you have to recreate the boot stuff, that just means reloading lilo.
