Hi, I'm searching for a good PCMCIA Ethernet card to use with FreeBSD in a Toshiba Notebook. I intend to use it not only as a network conection, but also as a network management and probing tool. This implies in good network performance and promiscuous mode support. I've heard that 3Com cards do not support promiscuous mode, is this true ? Which cards do you suggest for this kind of application ? Also, a card with dual speed (10/100) support AND dual connector (BNC/UTP) would be perfect, but I could not yet find one. Is there any available ? There are still lots of BNC networks around to be monitored. :) Thanks in advance, Jonny -- Joao Carlos Mendes Luis M.Sc.
