Hi there, I'm setting up a PC with FreeBSD on it to act as a router between two networks of machines. All seems fine except we've got 3COM Etherlink III (3C509B models) and in the LINT kernal it mentions that the ep0 code for it is "buggy". What exactly does this mean? And how badly would this affect the machine when its acting as a router (I suspect quite badly!!). Does this still apply in 2.1R (same comment in LINT). Finally, what ethernet cards would people recommend for use with a machine which is to act as a router - I guess a fast reliable card is what I'm looking for. Thanks for any suggestions.
