I know it sounds like an oxymoron, but I'm looking for a reliable USB NIC that's supported by FreeBSD 4.8 or -STABLE. It's going to be attached to my cable modem (currently 512kbps down, 128kbps up, transferring a few hundred MB daily) so speed is not really relevant. What I do need is something that will stay up for months -- essentially the time between kernel upgrades -- without needing any attention from me. Sadly it has to be USB, since the machine it's going in only has room for 1 PCI card, and that's occupied by the wireless adapter. Hmm, I guess 'not too expensive' and 'available in the UK' should be on that list too :-) Does such a beast exist?
