I use Intel cards for several years and was happy of them almost all

Theo wrote about em driver in OpenBSD and bad vendor design of Intel
NICs in general. Exactly the opposite I have used Intel server cards
with ~320Mbps traffic (max of old PCI board ;P) and everything worked

if they work great for you, why do you care?
Other than Intel, is anyone else making quad port gig cards? I'm
always open to playing with other hardware (and am hitting some amount
of limitations with my current hardware setup anyway) but haven't run
across any decent quad cards lately.
Silicom makes em-based quad/six port cards.
