What would be the best PCI or ISA card to minimize processor load under 3.4R? For example it is known that 3COM 509 is relatively slow under FreeBSD. The 1 ISA & 2 PCI NE2000 compatibles we are currently using are excessively loading the CPU with interrupts. Is there an NC which is particularly fast under 3.4? If you reply, please send a copy to me as well. Gene Sokolov. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
