I've had great troubles with the 3Com on FreeBSD in the past, but recently they've been pretty stable. For our important machines, I always use the Intel Pro 10/100B/100+ Ethernet (fxp-driver). I'm not sure it is the best, and the cards are certainly pretty old, three years at least, but they have been very reliant and the driver works flawlessly. I've heards that some cards using the de driver can perform even better, though, but I wouldn't know... :) Regards, Palle --On torsdag, november 21, 2002 11.51.07 -0500 Vincent Goupil wrote: > I have 3C905B-TX and 3C905C-TX.
