My first reaction to this, given the up/down business is that you should just get someone onsite to pop in two PCI NE-2000 clones. A large number of new network drivers appeared in 3.0/3.1 and I've found the tx0, for one, to be very buggy. Buggy enough that I can't believe that anyone else is using it. (unless you undefine EARLY_RX, moderate amounts of traffic will turn this innocent looking ethernet card into a delay adapter... holding packets for arbitrary amounts of time. I have also found that the driver truncates skip packets.) I have found the following drivers to be stable: ed0 (ne2000) de0 (DEC tulip) I have found the following drivers to be aggrivatingly buggy: ep0 (3com) - random reboots with traffic when > 1 interface tx0 (tulip clone from SMC) - see above I have not used other drivers (I have used the tl0 once, but can't really comment).
