Well, I wouldn't be surprised if there are already Intel branded gigabit PCI NICs that have the Marvel Yukon chipset on. Like the "Intel" 6-port SATA Raid cards that are really LSI 150-6 cards - they didn't even badge-engineer the firmware UI... My point is the Intel brand no longer means you get top-notch performance. You have to make sure it actually has an Intel chipset. Hans -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It's an entry level capture NIC with 2 RJ45 ports and 2 SFP slots. Works well on several taps (I used it with VSSmonitoring, NetOptics and Comcraft) and is runs on Linux, BSD and even Windoze.

Intel's gigabit NICs are well supported and Intel themselves tests their boards on Linux, so that's probably you're best bet.

Pretty much any high-end NIC will do just fine. Intel NICs have a good rep for working with Linux. More important than the NIC, I think, is how you're going to attach this network analysis box to the LAN. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFF4h6PS9HxQb37XmcRAtL6AJ9XTEgNSqHGvbnxxu2JR4NUgrr8PQCgrI2H k13aS1WYzH2N1Ypo0dqwbns= =+LI2 -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
