Phobos always claimed superiority, but its just a PCI bridge and (the same old) 21143 as all of the other 4 port cards (yawn)...if it doesnt work with the dc driver then I'd dump it.

Re: Phobos 4-port NIC
I had a similar (if not identical) phobos card. Turned out to be supported. (Tulip I think) Pop it in a machine and see if it works :) -Bill On Fri, Jan 04, 2002 at 07:54:27PM -0800, Eric Busto wrote: Howdy, I have recently acquired a pair of Phobos 4-port NIC's, the P430TX model.
