<<On Mon, 20 May 96 18:07:17 CDT, jim@SmallWorks.COM said: > What is the recommended FAST (PCI-base) ethernet card to use on FreeBSD? Something based on the DEC DC21140 chip. This includes DEC's own DE500-XA, SMC's EtherPower 10/100 PCI, and numerous clones. You might also be able to find a board based on the Intel i82557 chip, such as Intel's EtherExpress Pro/100B, but beware: the packaging for the Pro/100 non-B looks identical, and the only way to recognize the B model is to look at the board to see if the chip is an 82556 (original) or an 82557 (the one that works). The driver for the DEC chips is `de', and for the Intel chips is `fxp'. -GAWollman -- Garrett A.
