Need a quick advice, which 10/100 MBit Tisted pair PCI card works best supported and reliable under FreeBSD 2.1 and 2.2. Theres a good chance, that our company will get a FreeBSD communications server soon ... !!! And I urgently need some help, because of the pitfalls I heard about supported and not supported DEC Chips and such .... What PCI cards are in use on freefall and wcarchive ??? Do you think FreeBSD-2.2.2 is ok for a reliable server or should I better choose 2.1.7.1 ??? I think the FreeBSD-2.2.2 machines are well enough and one could use the -current ports, which might be an advantage over the older ports ....
