Well, it also depends on the driver. In a previous job situation, using Linux, we had to ditch several Intel Pro 100B cards and switch to Tulip based cards - because the Linux driver for the Pro 100B couldn't handle the multicast stuff while the Tulip cards worked fine. Myself, I've used both Tulip and Intel cards for FreeBSD. I have a slight preference for the Intel cards these days, but have always had good luck with the Tulip based cards. And of course, if you need something like a 4-port 10/100 card, Tulip is your only choice at the moment.
