I've started a WikiLearn page:

http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Wikilearn/EmailVirtualDomains

Look it over, see what's wrong, misleading, or missing, and fix it. ;-) 
(It is, after all, a wiki.)

regards,
Randy Kramer

The 570 is definitely supported in stable.  It uses the tulip module and has 
worked for ages, IIRC it also can use the de4x5 module.

AFAIK the 580 needs a fairly new kernel or at least patches.  We only run it 
on Redhat boxes right now so perhaps I'm mistaken.  On the redhat boxes we 
had to build our own driver sundance-new to get things working.  The regular 
sundance modules in the newer kernels (at least from Redhat) see to work fine 
with the 580.

We've had both 570s and 580s that turned out to be duds but as long as they 
work, they work well.  In your circumstances I'd definitely try and get the 
570 (I believe full model number is DFE-570TX).

..is this packet loss related to the tulip-needs-one-irq-per-wire-to-
quit-whining "System Error occured (0)" bug?

  Scenarios always come in sets of three: 
  best case, worst case, and just in case.

Both are supported. However, I found that the 580 seems to suffer from
high packet loss in high-load situations where the 570 is unaffected,
and I've seen similar reports from others, too.
   
  
This may simply be because the 580 is a newer card, and therefore there
hasn't been time to work out all of the bugs from the driver, so maybe
things are better in 2.6.x - still, if you have the choice, I'd go for
the 570.

*Don't* buy a D-Link 580. I've tried these in several different machines
and they have a tendancy to die under high loads or sometimes even just
with low loads. I gave up and went for the Intel cards, which are
expensive but work well. The D-Link 570 is a different chipset than the
580, so it might well be ok - I've never used one.
