The Intel EtherExpress Pro/100B (or Pro/100+) is generally considered to be
the best card/driver combination for FreeBSD systems.

However, Bill Paul has developed an excellent driver for the 3com XL cards
(now a part of the standard distribution).

If I've got a machine with a 3Com XL card in it, I don't usually replace it.
However, if I'm buying cards for a machine, I buy the Intel cards.

 I'm getting a new systems and I want to run FreeBSD on it.  I was
wondering if anyone could tell me if they had any trouble with
compatibility or getting drivers of the following parts:

-3Com Etherlink XL  PCI  10/100 BaseT   (OEM) 3c905
-Intel Etherexpress  Pro/100  PCI 10/100 MB/s
-PCI-NET/32 CT  Ethernet Card

-A generic onboard SiS video adaptor

If anyone knows about these or where to find out about them could you
let me know.  THank you.

Chris
