How about SMC 9432TX "EtherPower II" cards? I have seen messages from
Jason R. Thorpe in the NetBSD lists that this card is superior and
performs better than the Intel EtherExpress 10/100. Well this can be
because of superior driver for this card. I'm asking because I can get
them and the price is lower than Intel ones. Thoughts ?
