I've followed the various discussions about how 3C509 NICs suck :-) and I'm wondering if the 3C589 might be tarred with the same brush. I'd like to get a PC Card ethernet that doesn't lockup and I have the opportunity to get rid of the 3C589 to another machine running Win95 so I'm looking for informed opinions about what is regarded as the best type of PC Card ethernet for FreeBSD. I understand there are ethernet/modem combo cards around. Anyone have any experience with any of those under FreeBSD. Thanks for any advice.
