Oh man, tell me it isn't so... I've FINALLY gotten to be able to fully
use my 3c59x boards under all my OSs (just got the Solaris driver last
week, BSDI now works with it, Linux works well with it, FreeBSD now has
limited support for it). Now I have to go through the same thing all
over again? I may just buy an extra or two before they completely go
away...
Either that, or I'm going to replace them all with SMC boards. I thought
I couldn't go wrong with the 3com boards, but they haven't been widely
supported on the OSs I need to use (primarliarly Linux, but my porting
workstation has everything). If I had it to do over again, I would have
chosen SMC...
