Have been using a couple of D-Link Digi-5500TX NICs. They use the
Davicom chipset DM9102A and are buffered. NIC cards that have Bus
Master mode are not so easily hang-ed by ping-floods. These particular
cards are cheap and are very good/robust. Opinion based on low
performance of a particular chip-set should not be used against other
products from a 'Particular Company' which use other chip-sets as well!!
It is proven in that you look out for NICs whose hardware specs and
details have been opened up. Anyway, Look before you Leap

There are bugs confirmed (and workarounds for windows(!)) for the D-Link 530TX. The problem i had was that the card only could handle about 12Mbits on each port (constant load) while the machine was acting router (or whatever i tried). If you pingflodded the machine with simply a 'ping -f' my cards didnt hang, however.. if you increased the packetsize to like 512bits then the card died. Our company brought a dosen of those cards, all got the same buggy chipset.. go to http://www.deja.com/usenet and search for 'dfe-530tx bug'. -Christofer -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: Ethernet Card recommendation
Hi. This is just a matter of price.. The more you pay, the more you get. 3com 905-tx(nm) A-C series, works good in Linux however - you need mii-diag.c in order to control Full-Duplex/Half-Duplex and linkspeed... (autoneg doesnt always work properly). Intel Etherexpress Pro (+ Server Adapter) works great and i havnt found Autoneg issues, however -- this chip got lots of bugs in it, but the drivers have workarounds. D-Link cant do constant load, they hang or just loose ability to talk to other hosts on the network. --Christofer > -Original Message- > From: Jordi S .

I have to agree on the 3com's... I've never had problems with them so far. I've also got some servers on rtl8139 and intel cards, and have had the following problems with them: rtl: Heavy traffic (sustained 6+ MB/sec will kill the card to the level that you need to ifdown/unload module/load module/ifup) We can get to this point within 30 minutes. intel: When it works, it usually lasts forever, but it occasionally doesn't work after booting a system, and the only solve is te reboot, then it usually works. As soon as it works... no problems Macronics (Tulip chipset) same problems as the rtl's... they go comatose on heavy traffic. We even had an increase in problems when we switched a load of 10/100 hubs to 10/100 switches, since the max load on the cards more then doubled after this (about 3MB/s to 6+ MB/sec (bytes)) You pay a bit more for 3com... but it's worth the no-hassle :) People time costs a lot more then one lousy nic ;) -- Mark Janssen Unix Consultant @ SyConOS IT E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] GnuPG Key Id: 357D2178 http: maniac.nl, unix-god.[net|org], markjanssen.[com|net|org|nl] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
