I need/want to get a multi-port NIC for my new system but = I haven't purchased the guts for the server yet. = http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=3DENE&N=3D100010064+= 600013872+600016290&QksAutoSuggestion=3D&ShowDeactivatedMark=3DFalse&Confi= gurator=3D&IsNodeId=3D1&Subcategory=3D27&description=3D&Ntk=3D&CFG=3D&SpeT= abStoreType=3D&srchInDesc=3D Basically, this machine will have two external (real-world) IPs and one = network LAN (10.0.1.0/24) address, finding three-NIC motherboards is not = exactly possible so this is my alternative. I'm looking for FreeBSD 7-9 support. Rather run 8.1-RELEASE (same as my = other two machines right now). Thanks, Ryan
