Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG While I was searching for information on fast ethernet (specifically, whether it's always switched, or can be shared), I came across the following: The EtherExpress PRO/100 Smart Adapter is an intelligent server card for Fast Ethernet networks. The PRO/100 Smart Adapter comes with an on-board Intel i960 processor that offloads the host CPU and delivers even lower CPU utilization and faster throughput than the standard PRO/100 Adapters. The PRO/100 Adapters has a PCI bus and a NetWare driver co-developed by Intel and Novell for optimal performance. Price: $895 Version: PILA8485 Has anyone heard of this? Is there any point to it? Does FreeBSD support it? (If anyone knows the answer to my fast ethernet question, that'd be great too.) Ben "You have your mind on computers, it seems."
