If possible, >get one with jumpers rather than a setup program... Is there such a thing as an "NE2000-compatible" 100BaseT card? As far as I can tell, they're all 10BaseT and half duplex. (We currently have an NE1000 clone, believe it or not, in one of our servers. It works fine (it can outrun a T1, and that's the feed it's on), but it's due for an upgrade to handle increased traffic on the local LANs. Those LANs are going up to 100 Mbps, with switches, soon. --Brett To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
