I am looking to use FreeBSD as a router to route IP between 3 or 4 Ethernet segments (meaning 3 or 4 NICs). I have a PCI 486 (Asus SP3G) all line up for the job. The only thing I need are some NICs. My question: what are the best PCI Ethernet (10base2 at this time, though combo cards would be appreciated) NICs available that work with FreeBSD? On top, if anyone has had any experiences (good or bad) with this sort of a setup I'd like to hear about it. While I'm sure many people would suggest that I get a Cisco or a similar box to do the job, I really can't justify the cost of one of those units in our small business environment. A PC running gated gives the best price/performance ratio.
