Video problems? NIC problems? Etc. Is it better to have a separate pcmcia card for modem and lan or are the combo cards ok? Is there a brand of lan cards that people have had problems getting running under FreeBSD? Any nuggets that can be provided would be of great help to me in deciding what it is that I should look at purchasing. Thanks. -- Damien Tougas, P.Eng.
