Hello,
since I have problems with my sky2 network card on my mac mini, I am
looking for a cheap but reliable usb network card which is available in
Germany. Anyone?

This should give you an idea of which devices are supported. From there, you
should be able to find something in Germany.

Be aware of the DeLOCK adapter that is currently popular in some
retail stores. I just submitted a driver for it, but the hardware
itself seems to be relatively unreliable. When it works, you get decent
speed, but it seems to confuse the network stack and BIOS sometimes.
