I expect I would get the best performance using bus mastering network cards. As I have found out, FreeBSD supports some such cards using the lnc driver. But in FAQ this driver is marked "known to have problems". In LINT there is no such indication. I know that sometimes documentation is updated less regularly than software. I would like to know whether this driver indeed has problems, and (if yes) of what kind? If I should use another type of cards, which would you recommend? Thank you in advance. ---------------------------------- E-Mail: "Gennadi Makhmetov" Date: 01-Jul-97 Time: 21:10:43
