Hi Is it true that 3c509 cards are buggy in the 2.2.1 kernel? I have a machine with 2 of them currently running Linux, which goes well, but thinking about trying FreeBSD to see how it works on an internet server (it's not the primary server ;-)) but wondering if it's ok, because that machine got 2 3c509? By another way, is there a limit on how many ethernet cards I can put in one box? I currently run a Linux box somewhere with 6 networkcards (yes, it's a router) but wondering if that could be possible with FreeBSD too... Is FreeBSD faster in routing? (Yes I really need to compare which os the best is for me, I still don't exacltly know, FreeBSD seems more stable, sometimes one of my linux servers crashes... :-( (because of too many processes or smt. too heavy load)) Paul
