Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-net@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Does anyone know of any 8 port or better ethernet cards? The ideal card (IMO) would be: o Plug into a PCI slot o At least 8 ports o The 8 ports would not be on the mounting bracket, but would instead be externally mounted (ideally, with a rackmount front panel) o Internally act as a single ethernet interface... e.g. it would be an 8 port switch on a PCI card Intel has a couple of chips that could be used to build one of these, no problem, but I haven't been able to find anyone using the things in a product.
