Actually, the LINUX 'forcedeath' driver for quite some time was quite
inferior to the nfe/nve driver which also was cobbled together
through reverse engineering. I had to use a MB that had those NICs on
a few customer LINUX boxes and we ended up just installing a some old
fxp nics we had sitting around to avoid various stability issues...
As others have said, LINUX can have the same issues despite the
oodles of extra $$$ resources.
