I have 2 home-made routers with 3 cards in each of them, as well as a firewall with one quad port card and 2 DLink 530TX cards. I haven't had any problems with them at all. The much older Cogent cards (before Adaptec bought them) seamed to always have one port go bad eventually, but I haven't seen that in a long time. Hope that helps, --Brian On Thu, 15 Jul 2004 16:54:04 +0930, Rob wrote: > Fellow BSDers, > > I'm looking at 2 quad ethernet cards on eBay: Adaptec ANA-6944TX and Znyx > ZX346. > > The Adaptec appears to use a DEC chipset.
