I have to admit, I don't think they're as good as either the previous etherpower cards or the intel card recommended below. I haven't done any real tests with them, they just seem slower than the intel card to me. They do seem to fucntion just fine though. >> I plan to install a 100 Base TX network when I upgrade my FreeBSD >> server.

I had one of these in one of our freebsd machines, and it worked like a charm. The previous generation of SMC etherpower cards was based off the dec chipset, and that's a pretty good card too (the mud I admin has one of those in the machine).
