Given the price of gigE, it's hard to say that a 100Mbps adapter is
"current", but Intel has one with 3DES. I recently went through my
collection and threw out about a hundred antique (ISA / MCA) Ethernet
cards, but I kept all the PCI ones. With sufficient inducement I
could go grovelling through the Intel ones to get you a part number.
