I just bought 3 Dell Optiplex GXi (p166, 32MB RAM, 2GB harddrive) to use as test systems. I need to buy network cards for these. I was looking at the Phoebe 10/100 cards. It is the "NWK10/100PCI" model (according to Phoebes page). http://www.phoebemicro.com/Products/Networking/10_100_Network_Cards/10_100_network_cards.html Has anyone checked to see if they will work under freebsd? I've tried some Win2k professional workstations that had these and ran fine. But I'd hate to buy these cards and discover I can't do anything with them under FreeBSD. It's for a test system, so I also don't want to spend afortune on getting cards for it either. I can pick up these cards for about $9, which is great since I'll need several to setup the systems with. Any comments? I called Phoebe to check, and the guy said no one there has been asked if they work with FreeBSD yet.. I also couldn't get the chipset these cards use from the website or from the distributor I work with. Anyone? On a side note, I'm also looking at the Phoebe 10/100 16 port hub. If you've used it please e-mail me off list. Also, if you've got any warnings about the Optiplex Gxi systems I've got also send me the e-mail off list please.
