I would like to purchase the above mentioned NICs from Intel, hoping the em() driver is capable of handling the NICs. I found in the list of supported hardware that Intels PRO/1000 series is supported by the em() driver, but it is said that the nVidia 4XX chipset is also supported, but not the specific Realtek PHYS/chip used on some ASROCK boards (AM2NF6G-VSTA). So I would like to ask here first. Othr suggestions for good stable and fast NICs are welcome. Thanks. Regards, Oliver P.S. I do not have problems coming along with 6-STABLE after 6.2 gets released, so if you plan integrating support for the nVidia nForce 405 and/or this mentioned specific Intel PRO/1000 NIC shortly after the launch of 6.2-RELEASE I will also welcome positive answeres about this. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Intel PRO/1000 PT Desktop Adapter, 1x 1000Base-T, PCIe x1, low profile (EXPI9300PTL) -- O.
