I think we've Same here.. I use all Linksys LNE100TX's here on my LAN. They perform just as good performance performancewise as any 3Coms or Intels I've used, and are far better than most cards with a similar price (read: DLink; BLEH) they just don't have some of the advanced management features. I've had one or two of the Version 2 cards go bad, none of the 4 or 5's. They make some nice hubs and switches too; There is a 5 port hub that has a built in repeater on the uplink if you need to go to another hub, up to 100m (or was it ft) away.. better than the 10 you're "allowed" to run without a repeater. I have their 16 port unmanaged 10/100 switch also and it works like a beauty. -Allen http://rfnj.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
