I use these RTL cheapo nics. I accept the fact they have a bad reputation. However I have used them for some time, and they have behaved impeccably. I have noticed no change in throughput on 5.0 either, and since I have downloaded loads off stuff which comes through my firewall and then via the LAN to the 5.0 test machine I think I would have noticed if it was slower than normal. Having said that I have not checked the throughput, but then nothing has happened to make me want to check it. I run 4-7 Stable updated at least once a week, and the latest patched 5.0 from a few days ago. The network also runs through a fairly cheapo switch. Maybe I just get lucky, touch wood (or my anti-static wrist band :). My problem is that extensive use of my hoover sometimes makes some of the computers stop, but I don't think a slightly overloaded electrical system can be solved in software... -- Regards Cliff Sarginson The Netherlands [ This mail has been checked as virus-free ] To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
