I've no usage statistics, but I guess that people on x86 are mostly using e1000, e100, or 8139too. The latter two are 100 MBit adapters and may be increasingly tricky to obtain. The e1000 of RTnet comes in two versions, an older stable one and a newer experimental version. If buying hardware without knowing its PCI ID in advance, you may be unlucky picking an unsupported version, though. And then there is a fairly up-to-date Intel IGB driver. That's currently my reference platform, working well in a product. It's also working fine with MSI-X here, avoiding IRQ conflicts this way. Jan
