I'm using 10 of the Intel PRO/100B's in 9 machines with the driver from -stable. Two of the interfaces are talking to our departmental 10BaseT network, and 8 are on a private 100BaseT network with the Intel hub. (One machine has 2 interfaces, and routes between the private 100BaseT network and our departmental 10BaseT network.) Overall, I'm pleased with the card and the driver. They seem to work well. One odd thing is that under load we see a fair number of packets dropped due to surpassing "maxcols" on the 100BaseT network. Far more so than I've seen with Sparc 20's on 10BaseT. Alan P.S. The current driver doesn't add "maxcols" into the output errors stat. Shouldn't that be included?
