My suggestion would be to take a look at the 'Intel PRO/1000 PT' card. It works fine with FreeBSD and Intel's network cards are generally considered to be among the better ones. -- Insert your favourite quote here.

I second the previous suggestion. I just deployed a machine to act as a router, it's been up routing traffic 24/7 for the last week on two intel/pro network cards without any problems yet. The drivers these cards use, em(4), was written by Intel, so the cards are fully supported without any crippled functionality. Newegg has a few based on this chipset for about $30. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833106121Tpk=PWLA8391GTBLK -Modulok- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
