But while I am on this what is the "best" nic? Intel EtherexpressPro 10/100 is very good and well supported on FreeBSD. The TULIP cards - de driver - DE21x4x chipset are also good, but there are so many variations that it is possible to get one which has problems with the driver. I have de cards from Alloy, an Australian manufacturer, and they easily achieve 10 Mbps transfer rates on my network (which happens to be thin-net 10-Base-2). I'll be buying more Alloy cards.
