We've never had any problems with them at all. We've got Cisco switches and I can't remember ever having a problem with any network cards in general. The 3Com card in my box at home died a mysterious death however, so I'm not sure if I'd want to go through that again. Now if I could just manage to cram a PCI NIC into my SGI Indy I'd be happy. The NIC on board died mysteriously also. But hey it's just a toy anyway. -- Eric Futch New York Connect.Net, Ltd. efutch@nyct.net Technical Support Staff http://www.nyct.net (212) 293-2620 "Bringing New York The Internet Access It Deserves" To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
