I have machines with Tigon II (ti), Marvell 88E8001 (sk), i82540 (em), RTL8169 (re), and BCM5750 (bge) interfaces. The only ones I've ever had problems with were the Tigon and Marvell, and the latter was fixed nearly a year ago. All except the Tigon and Broadcom are running under 5-STABLE; the Broadcom is running 6.0b5. I can't comment on the Level I, Nominal Semidestructor, or VIA chips as I've never seen any. -GAWollman -- Garrett A.
