Hi everybody, I'm considering the purchase of a D-Link DFE-570TX (4 port 10/100 Ethernet for those not familiar). I can purchase these one at a time (shipped <2 days) for about $350 CDN ($230 US). The mailing lists suggest that it is supported under 4.x with the dc driver. Is this card a good choice? Any compatibility or detection issues? I'm considering putting 2 or 3 of these in a machine to use as a multiport intelligent router/firewall. Any issues with multiple cards of this type? The obvious alternative is to by a single 2nd $20 NIC and plug into a less expensive hub or switch... Which may actually be cheaper and more extensible, not to mention "hot-swappable".
