In my inventory, I have a 3com 905 (xl) and a Dlink 538-tx (rl). Which one of th 3com or Dlink should I use to make sure I have the best performance? The setup is 1 wan (internet), 1 NIC for inside networks, with 3 vlans. I'm using the traffic shaper and BandwidthD.I'm extremely prejudiced against Realtek (rl) cards because of the grief I've had with them the past, personally I would toss the rl in the bin and use the xl, better yet I'd find another em card and use that ;oD.
I wasn't sure if rl was Realtek, but I agree on your statement. The firewall will have 30 mbps throughput max, would I still benefit from the em card? I could also use the fxp card in the old firewall.
If I go with another em, do I need the server version?
