Hello *,

we want to connect our copper-GBit segment (in rack) to our "big" LAN 
using a fiber uplink. We currently uplink with 100MBit FE which becomes
more and more a bottleneck.

The machine is a Dell PE350 / 800MHz / 256MB running 4.10-RELEASE and
ipfw for some filter rules. The machine is a dedicated inter-DMZ router 
for two segments. The machine has only one PCI Slot (the existing 
dual-fxp is onboard).

Is there a PCI-card on market with one port GBit fiber and one port GBit
copper? Is this card supported with FreeBSD 4.1x or 5.x? 

Any recommendations (including "new hardware for the system")?

Regards
Raphael Becker
