based on 10+ exprience and working with a dozen models, I recommend intel cards:
- Intel explicitly supports freebsd. - the cards are highly stable - have best performance among all other cards on freebsd and if you look for best performance, buy a card based on 82575 or 82576 controllers. On 9/3/2010 8:28 PM, Ryan Coleman wrote:
Any thoughts? I need/want to get a multi-port NIC for my new system but I haven't purchased the guts for the server yet. http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100010064+600013872+600016290&QksAutoSuggestion=&ShowDeactivatedMark=False&Configurator=&IsNodeId=1&Subcategory=27&description=&Ntk=&CFG=&SpeTabStoreType=&srchInDesc= Basically, this machine will have two external (real-world) IPs and one network LAN (10.0.1.0/24) address, finding three-NIC motherboards is not exactly possible so this is my alternative. I'm looking for FreeBSD 7-9 support. Rather run 8.1-RELEASE (same as my other two machines right now).
