Will follow Robert's advice and look for an Intel one. Robert, could you please pinpoint an Intel card for me? One that can be buyed boxed .. stand alone NIC? (nowadays the only way to get NIC seems to be by buying one with a motherboard attached to it).

Any comments and/or recommendations would be appreciated. Intel PWLA8391GTBLK, available on newegg for under $25 (USD). I've been running two of these on a FreeBSD 6 machine for about a year now, with zero problems. The use the em(4) driver, written by Intel. On a side note, I did have problems with the Netgear GS108 line of switches, where they would completely lock up at random intervals when daisy chained together. (This was not caused by the Intel network cards.) When not connected to one-another they seem to be stable, as I still two of these with no problems. Best of luck. -Modulok- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
