Have been using a couple of D-Link Digi-5500TX NICs. They use the
Davicom chipset DM9102A and are buffered. NIC cards that have Bus
Master mode are not so easily hang-ed by ping-floods. These particular
cards are cheap and are very good/robust. Opinion based on low
performance of a particular chip-set should not be used against other
products from a 'Particular Company' which use other chip-sets as well!!
It is proven in that you look out for NICs whose hardware specs and
details have been opened up. Anyway, Look before you Leap....
