Also, there can and most likely will be totally unrelated design teams supporting NIC's and routers/switches. So there are no guarantee's by staying vendor specific. When I worked for Intel twenty years ago, the systems group would not use Intel DRAM. We thought it was crap, which it was, as no one else bought it either. diana To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
