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. ---Mike
