In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-net@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Your best bet is to get an Intel EtherExpress/Pro 100(B/+) (fxp) or 3Com 3c905B (xl). These are some high quality nic's and very supported. If you are on a budget you might want to look at a SMC Epic (tx).
