Even if they didn't work, Intel supposedly has lifetime warranties on their cards (white-box or retail, so long as they're Intel brand cards). I haven't had to test that warranty yet, so I don't know how easy it is to take them up on it. We currently have over 500 Intel NICs from some old 82557 boards bought about six years ago all the way up past the 82559 to the new whatchamacallit with the 3DES encryption in it, and we've _never_ had one go bad. -- Chris Dillon - cdillon@wolves.k12.mo.us - cdillon@inter-linc.net FreeBSD: The fastest and most stable server OS on the planet.
