My main reason for wanting to replace the wretched thing is that it keeps on hanging when doing lots of writes under NFS (when it's a client), even when the write size is reduced to 2k. Everyone's currently banging away at the new SMP code, so rather than plague Bill Paul with requests about the if_sn driver, I'm thinking of just getting a more reliable card.
