Hi... What are the relative merits of "managed" vs "unmanaged" NIC cards for FreeBSD? I've heard that managed cards are wastes of money under Unix-type OSes, but I don't remember why... Could someone fill me in? :) For examples, the Intel 100+ and the 3Com 905B are both available as either "managed" or "unmanaged" cards. Which would be the better choice(s) & why?
