I am looking for a recommendation for a card purchase of a Gigabit
Ethernet NIC that supports jumbo frames.  Looking at the kernel,
the following drivers support jumbo frames; bce, bge, em, ixgb,
lge, nge, sk stge, and vge.  What is perceived as the most stable,
best performing card and driver for FreeBSD RELENG_6 line?  I have
multi TBs to back up from a SAN (via 2Gb Qlogic FC card) to a TSM
Server. We currently have the Broadcom BCM5750, but that chipset
does not support Jumbo Frames.  The card itself needs to be PCI-
Express.

TIA
