I've used the 4-port Adaptec ANA* cards.  No major complaints, but I have
definately seen more anamolies than many years using fxp.  I'd highly
suggest sticking to Intel for anything high-throughput.

As for the new Intel GB NICs...  I'm glad to hear they're working well
with FreeBSD (haven't tried 'em yet)...  That's a lot more than I can
currently say for Linux.  ;)
