I'm considering the above card for use in a machine that will be solely
devoted to packet capture.  Is the D-Link a good choice for this? D-Link
doesn't give me the same warm-fuzzy that two dual-port Intel cards would in
terms of being able to keep up with the bandwidth, but a 4-port card is
preferable.  Comments/experiences appreciated.  \

thanks,
jeff
