I'm quite happy with the cards I own, thought I use them only in the workstations. Don't know how they behave under continuous load. You seem to want something for the server, I personally use several Intel 82558/82559 based cards because I can get them here. But, as I want to support companies which release programming info and are overall Open Source friendly I suggest getting 3Com Fast Etherlink cards ( the 3c905 series). I'm sad, the distribution of 3Com cards suddenly stopped about two months ago in Estonia. -- Vallo Kallaste vallo@matti.ee To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
