Intel Etherexpress Pro 100B or 100+. Very boring card. Just plug it in. Driver is very robust, and card is fast. See the archives. No "new" card/driver is going to be as good, because they haven't been tested as long as the fxp has. As far as I know, the tx driver (for the Etherpower II) still has some issues. > Thanks. > > --Morgan Tom To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
