Not all are scheduled for removal but this is my inventory for which I can test and am willing to help out with. Add iwn and ath too. I also have a stack of old stuff (almost certain there’s at least one vx in there - VORTEX power!). If anyone needs cards, please contact me and if I have it, I’ll send it your way. Also have some old video (AGP), sound (ISA), SATA (PCI-X) and other total rando stuff. One place I see the older cards are in some firewall boxes that are in SFF boxes. Old PCI 10/100 NICs are more than adequate for backup WAN purposes (xDSL, cable, etc.) and some of the SFF boxes have one pci-e plus one pci slot and that’s it.
