Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hello, I'm looking for a 2 or 4 port (preferably 4 port) 10/100 ethernet card that is able to do full-duplex under 4-stable. I'm not concerned with performance as much as I am with the driver being maintained. We've got a Rod Grimes built router (thanks Rod!) that's been running happily for a few years with a ZNYX (DEC 21140A based) quad port ethernet card. None of its current interfaces are full-duplex, which is good because all the reports I've seen in the mailing lists indicate that these cards can't do full-duplexing with the de driver in FreeBSD. I'd like to go with an Intel fxp based or BP (didn't realize Bill Paul was a chip!) based card, since the drivers for these cards seem to be better maintained. I also want to be able to do full-duplexing. Anyone have any luck with the Adaptec Quartet64 (ANA-62044) with the sf driver? I'm also in the market for a GB (1000BaseSX) card. Anyone have any problems with the SysKonnect SK9843 or SK9844 and the sk driver?
