> Is tehre any working network board with several lan interfaces on the same > board There are several. Phobos (www.phobos.com) makes a 4-port 10/100 card that has a "beta" driver available for 2.2.X and 3.0. Send email to Alison_Dodds@phobos.com about this. It has driver support for NT, Netware, Solaris, Linux, and FreeBSD, Irix, and HPUX. Under some OSes, it supports "trunking", or link aggregation (with the right switch). FreeBSD trunking support is planned, which is more than anyone can say about the other cards. Adaptec makes a 4-port card (6944/A) that is supported. Znyx also makes one that *I believe* works -- both those use the DEC 21140 chip and the if_de driver. All three retail for around $695 (actual cost is $500-$550, or a little less for the Phobos card). Intel makes a 2-port card (costs as much as 3 single-port intel cards, at around $250) that *should* work w/o any problems with the if_fxp driver. All these are 10/100TX cards; all the multi-port 10Mbps-only cards have been discontinued.
