What NICs are highly regarded, price/performance > wise for FBSD? >From "Jordan's Picks" on http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/ I can recommend the SMC Ultra 16 controller for any ISA application and the SMC EtherPower or Compex ENET32 cards for any serious PCI based networking. Both of the PCI cards are based around DEC's DC21041 Ethernet controller chip and other cards using it, such as the Zynx ZX342 or DEC DE435, will generally work as well. Hope this helps. -- James Raynard, Edinburgh, Scotland james@jraynard.demon.co.uk
