I'm running a pair of them in my core router; very nice cards. I've also got a small fleet of them in a bunch of news servers. They work well.. BUT. There is no official driver for them at this time. I am using a version of Matt Thomas's driver that he provided to me a few months back, and it works dandy under 2.1.5/2.1.6, but doesn't compile under 2.2. It would really be a Good Idea to see if we can integrate Matt's latest and greatest... Short answer: don't order them until they're officially supported. ...
