Mike, Thank you. If someone has experience with this adapter, please write. I've read the specs, and unless I'm missing something it appears to be a specialized adapter for fault tolerance and load balancing.. The specs say it appears as one port to the OS. They must mean to NT? If FreeBSD's driver sees 4 NICs, then this would be a good fit. Else, the other 4 port NIC is the Adapatec - spendy and no drivers in FreeBSD, that I've found. I'll dig a bit in the archives.
