I have a project for which I'm going to need to get a lot of ethernet ports into one machine, and so I thought I'd look into the availability of dual- or quad-channel ethernet cards. A quick Web search turned up the Intel Pro 100 dual port card (PILA8472) and the SMC EtherPower II dual card (SMC9334). Neither of these are explicitly listed as supported in FreeBSD 3.2 (and the 3C980 "server" NIC which is supported turns out not actually to be a dual-channel card...). So, does anyone know if either of these cards work with the existing fxp/de drivers? If so, what has your experience with them been? Do they show up as 2 independent network interfaces, or is there something more subtle? Alternately, if anyone has any other ideas along these lines, I'd love to hear about them. [I don't suppose anyone has a driver for a Sun QFE card... Would that even work in an Intel PC?] Tom Pavel Stanford Linear Accelerator Center pavel@slac.stanford.edu http://www.slac.stanford.edu/~pavel/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
