All- I plan to upgrade my home network shortly. I am currently using an 8-port, 10 Mbps 3Com hub and 3C509B Ethernet cards. What I have been looking at is the 8-port, Netgear FS108 10/100 switch ($70), and their FA311 10/100 network cards ($20/ea.) Although I have used their network cards on Windows machines very successfully, I would like to know if they are compatible with FreeBSD? I looked through the LINT file, and saw that they were mentioned as supported, but I wonder what that level of support is? I know that the Intel cards are the "best supported" with the 3C9xx series being a close second, but they tend to be more expensive than the Netgear cards. The fact that Netgear is really a business unit Bay Networking doesn't exactly hurt my feelings, either :-) Thanks! -- Paul A.
