Hi

Is it true that 3c509 cards are buggy in the 2.2.1 kernel?
I have a machine with 2 of them currently running Linux, which goes well,
but thinking about trying FreeBSD to see how it works on an internet
server (it's not the primary server ;-)) but wondering if it's ok, because
that machine got 2 3c509?

By another way, is there a limit on how many ethernet cards I can put in
one box? I currently run a Linux box somewhere with 6 networkcards (yes,
it's a router) but wondering if that could be possible with FreeBSD too...
Is FreeBSD faster in routing?
(Yes I really need to compare which os the best is for me, I still don't
exacltly know, FreeBSD seems more stable, sometimes one of my linux
servers crashes... :-( (because of too many processes or smt. too heavy
load))

Paul
