I am running FreeBSD 2.1.5 on a PPro ...

I tried using the SMC PCI ethernet card, but the 10baseT support seems 
broken: the first card we tried, would slow down to a crowl after a few 
minutes.  The second one will not see/bessen by the hub at all.
Then we tried to order the 3C595.. backlog on most stores.

We ordered a 3C590.  We received instead a 3C900 card, the 590 beeing 
discontinued :-(

Questions:  
	What PCI Ethernet card is solid and has good support under FBSD?
	Is it possible to get this 3C900 card working under 2.1.5 ?

Thanks for the answeres :-)
