I've had good experiences with a 4-port DEC 21x4x NIC, which I believe was
made (or OEMed?) by Asante:
pcib2@pci0:16:0: class=0x060400 card=0x000000dc chip=0x00241011
rev=0x03
hdr=0x01
vendor = 'Digital Equipment Corporation'
device = '21151/2 PCI to PCI Bridge'
class = bridge
subclass = PCI-PCI
dc0@pci2:4:0: class=0x020000 card=0x11101186 chip=0x00191011 rev=0x41
hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Digital Equipment Corporation'
device = 'DC21142/3 PCI/CardBus 10/100 Mbit Ethernet Ctlr'
class = network
subclass = ethernet
dc1@pci2:5:0: class=0x020000 card=0x11101186 chip=0x00191011 rev=0x41
hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Digital Equipment Corporation'
device = 'DC21142/3 PCI/CardBus 10/100 Mbit Ethernet Ctlr'
class = network
subclass = ethernet
dc2@pci2:6:0: class=0x020000 card=0x11101186 chip=0x00191011 rev=0x41
hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Digital Equipment Corporation'
device = 'DC21142/3 PCI/CardBus 10/100 Mbit Ethernet Ctlr'
class = network
subclass = ethernet
dc3@pci2:7:0: class=0x020000 card=0x11101186 chip=0x00191011 rev=0x41
hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Digital Equipment Corporation'
device = 'DC21142/3 PCI/CardBus 10/100 Mbit Ethernet Ctlr'
class = network
subclass = ethernet
I've been using them in various FW/router boxes for about 2 years without
any memorable issues.
