We've used 4 port Zynx cards here, had alot of problems with them under other BSD's such as OpenBSD 2.1. Simply could not get more than one port working, as soon as I config up a second port the box would reboot. However I came to the conclusion that it was the OpenBSD drivers causing this. We tested OpenBSD 2.2 and they work okay so... I have a FreeBSD stable box here. I slammed 2 (maybe 3) 4 port Zynx cards into it and they worked a dream. I've been interested in finding another multiport 10/100 full duplex solution for a while though and haven't really seen much else around... recommendations welcome.
