I'm a western digital biggot, and have historically stayed away from NE2000 cards, but I have a need to put together about 10 systems for some emergency radio work I'm doing and I wanted to get some newer opinions on the cards and the driver state, given the price difference between the two designs. Is the ed/NE2000 flavor of the driver reliable now? Overruns? What kind of performance can I expect to see on a NE2000 vs a 16 bit SMC card when running FreeBSD? e.g. would you dare build a diskless NFS client with a NE2000 clone? Thanks, Paul
