I have a myriad of Intel, Broadcom, 1 marvell now and several realtek nics on various equipment I manage. Although the realtek's aren't performers like the Broadcoms or Intels and some need additional drivers in some distro's they all work. I have seen every preposterous event with a Yukon like providing bad mac address during pxe boot, poor performance and some needed some absolutely pedantic methods to configure parameters like Yukon's under Solaris. I'd rather have a Realtek if I had to. jlc
