Date: Wed, 20 Aug 1997 16:12:44 -0400 From: Harlan Stenn Sender: owner-freebsd-hardware@freeBSD.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk For ISA machines, what's better than an NE2000 (or clone) network card? I seems like the Intel EtherPro/10+ looks good, as might an NE2100 (Kingston has these). I'm looking for a better card and I'd also like to know that the FreeBSD driver for the card is good, too. What do folks recommend? (I'm trying to avoid NE2000 cards because I'm tired of cranking down the NFS read and write sizes to 1024 when I use those cards). Thanks... H
