I'm starting to do it. I haven't decided the card yet. It will be either a 
card from CompuShack or one from INOVIT. For the more common cards it's
hard to get the docs or a dual attached card.
I need that card to build a FDDI Protocol analyzer That means BPF support
will be in the first version. 
The advantage of the INOVIT card is a local processor that handles SMT.
Is there a free SMT implementation somewhere ??
