If you are looking for stability, compatibility and speed all in one, I would go with a 3com card. My personal favorite is the 3c905c. I have never had any problems with this card. However, I have gone thought a number of fxp cards and motherboards with onboard chipsets. Some would cause problems, some would work ok, you wont know for sure until your try. > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG > [mailto:owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Ken Gunderson > Sent: Tuesday, July 09, 2002 12:22 PM > To: freebsd-stable@freebsd.org > Cc: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org > Subject: intel etherexpress pro and fxp status?? > > > Greets All: > > during the 4.6rc era i recall there were issues with intel ether > pro and fxp drivers, particularly with smp boxes.
