You're not going to give us a hint as to which card to possibly avoid in
the future? :)

I bought this USB 2.0 + firewire card from newegg:

USB works just fine, I haven't tried the firewire yet.  I had a USB 2.0
hard drive hooked up at one time and I recall it working as fast as my
laptop.  I've probably burned over 100 DVDs using this card as well.
