Thanks for the input on the znyx. I checked it out and noticed that it has the Dec chip 21140, which is essentially the same as the adaptec that we were looking at. I'm not sure how freeBSD drivers are written, but it could be that a driver for the znyx would work on the adaptec(cogent). If there are known problems with the znyx we probably want to avoid it. I have another related question, though. Our fileserver runs freeBSD 2.1.6 and has an intel etherexpress pro 100b ethernet card. We've been noticing increasingly high Ierrs with this setup, which is kind of scary with it being the fileserver and all. One of my co-workers has the exact same setup on his home machine and is experiencing the same problem. Is there a known problem with that driver? If so, is it fixed in later versions of freeBSD? Any ideas on how to minimize the Ierrs? Thanks again for any input. Sarah
