for home network gear - i have used both the linksys SR2024 and the dell
powerconnect 5324.  they both support vlans and have full mgmt - command
line and web.  the linksys is about half the price of the dell.  they do
not do layer 3, which for home use isn't needed i'm guessing.    for the
nics i'm a big fan of the intel e1000's - they have good support for
linux and have done well for me.  i use cat5e for connectivity and get
good throughput on the network.

my 2 cents.
