[CentOS] Dual or quad fast ethernet NICs (that work with CentOS)
Hi, I am looking for dual or quad fast ethernet NICs that work with CentOS. There is no need for high performance so regular fast/pci is ok. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

EtherExpress, if I'm not mistaken) cards in general, both the single NIC and dual NIC models. e1000 or e1000e drivers works flawlessly. I would not expect quad-based cards of the similar type to be any problem either. This is an extract from one of the firewalls I got, having 2xdual NIC cards: 0a:02.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82546GB Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 03) 0a:02.1 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82546GB Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 03) 0a:03.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82546GB Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 03) 0a:03.1 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82546GB Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 03) These cards uses the e1000 driver. kind regards, David Sommerseth ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Even quad 100baseT NICs were likely on 64bit 66Mhz PCI (compatible with PCI-X, but not desktop 32bit 33Mhz PCI. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

We have an Intel Pro 1000 MT, quad port Gig NIC in a CentOS 5.5 box, works great. -- Regards, James. http://www.jamesbensley.co.cc/ There are 10 kinds of people in the world; Those who understand Vigesimal, and J others...? ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I have in a firewall box here a quad fastethernet board; lspci shows: 01:09.0 PCI bridge: Digital Equipment Corporation DECchip 21152 (rev 03) 02:04.0 Ethernet controller: Digital Equipment Corporation DECchip 21142/43 (rev 41) 02:05.0 Ethernet controller: Digital Equipment Corporation DECchip 21142/43 (rev 41) 02:06.0 Ethernet controller: Digital Equipment Corporation DECchip 21142/43 (rev 41) 02:07.0 Ethernet controller: Digital Equipment Corporation DECchip 21142/43 (rev 41) This uses the 'tulip' driver, very common, and good performance. I have another one, but this one uses the 21140 instead of the 21142. Still the tulip driver. Part number on it is 'COM-0040-50' or 123400-21-998, googling gives me that it's a Sun partit's 32-bit PCI. The older Sun Quad Fast Ethernet (PCI) should also work fine; uses sunhme driver, IIRC, which is in the vanilla C5 kernel (I just checked the latest updated kernel; should be in all of them). The ones I found on eBay (starting at the high price of $9.99 free shipping) are 64-bit, but should work fine in a 32-bit slot, just slower. Also, I have in hand a couple of dual-port boards made by Intel; Pro/100+ Dual, part 711269-004; has two 82558B controllers and an Intel-sourced 21152 bridge (32-bit PCI). I have one of these in a CentOS 3 box, and it works fine. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I can vouch for the Sun Quad Fast Ethernet (PCI) cards. Quite a while back a few co-workers and I had split a small lot of them from eBay the broke down to roughly 8 or 9 bucks with shipping. Everyone had good luck with whatever they ended up being used for (mostly firewalls). jeff On Fri, Dec 31, 2010 at 4:00 PM, Lamar Owen wrote: > On Tuesday, December 28, 2010 07:13:22 am robert mena wrote: >> I am looking for dual or quad fast ethernet NICs that work with CentOS. >> There is no need for high performance so regular fast/pci is ok. > > I have in a firewall box here a quad fastethernet board; lspci shows: > 01:09.0 PCI bridge: Digital Equipment Corporation DECchip 21152 (rev 03) > 02:04.0 Ethernet controller: Digital Equipment Corporation DECchip 21142/43 > (rev 41) > 02:05.0 Ethernet controller: Digital Equipment Corporation DECchip 21142/43 > (rev 41) > 02:06.0 Ethernet controller: Digital Equipment Corporation DECchip 21142/43 > (rev 41) > 02:07.0 Ethernet controller: Digital Equipment Corporation DECchip 21142/43 > (rev 41) > > This uses the 'tulip' driver, very common, and good performance. > > I have another one, but this one uses the 21140 instead of the 21142.

Re: [CentOS] Dual or quad fast ethernet NICs (that work with CentOS)
I know I didn't have the luxury of 2GB of ram at the time and would have been on a 32-bit only CPU. Possibly my scant hardware might have saved me a headache. Or maybe my memory is just getting worse as time wears on. :) I also recall playing with it on OpenBSD and FreeBSD as well. jeff On Sat, Jan 1, 2011 at 4:27 AM, Louis Lagendijk wrote: > On Fri, 2010-12-31 at 16:32 -0600, Jeff Hefner wrote: >> I can vouch for the Sun Quad Fast Ethernet (PCI) cards.
