>1) Any recommendations on 100BaseT cards for fbsd? > SMC EtherPower 10/100 or any of the other name brand DEC 21140-based cards. the 21140A-based cards are now also supported by the de driver, as i recall. >2) Anyone got a hub they're particularly happy or unhappy with? > a 100Mb hub always seemed like such a waste to me. switching is the way to go. even 10Mb switches are amazingly better than hubs. i am very fond of my baynetworks switches, but they are pretty expensive. >3) How does one hook a Cisco 2501A to a 100Mbps hub? Is there an >AUI-to-100BaseT adapter? one gets a hub or switch that supports 10Mb as well as 100Mb and one plugs it in. no adapter needed. b3n
