We have had good results in Linux, NetWare, NT, et al with 3Com 10/100 cards, so at this point we intend to use them in the new server. Being something of a newbie to the FreeBSD world, I have 2 questions: 1) Is the 3Com 3C905B-TX a solid choice for a high-traffic FreeBSD server, or should I use something else like the Intel Pro 10/100? 2) When configuring the cards using 3C90XCFG, should I leave them in plug-n-pray mode or does it make any difference? The tests we've run so far work either way, but they've not been under load as yet. Thanks for all your help.
