X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 06 Jul 2005 17:16:09 -0000 Along the same lines of a similarly titled concurrent thread... Can anyone suggest (or warn against) any particular NIC make/model that features 2 or 4 NIC ports on a single card, for use with 5.4-STABLE (or even 6.0 since this is a long term project)? We are interested in prototyping a small footprint router/server device, where the small form factor host chassis will only have a couple of PCI slots, but 4 or more separate LAN interfaces are desired. Thanks for any information you can provide. -- Greg Barniskis, Computer Systems Integrator South Central Library System (SCLS) Library Interchange Network (LINK) , (608) 266-6348
