Howdy,

What ISA ethernet card would be best to run with FreeBSD or NetBSD?
I haven't had any luck with the 3c509 drivers (I happened to have
one to try).  My old WD8003E works great, but I figgered it was time
to upgrade to a more modern, 16 bit card.

How about the SMCs ?  I would think they would be good, since the
little 8 bit card ran so well.

Which SMCs are compatible?  I usually see the Ethernet Plus Elite 16.

Thanks a lot!
