Karl Heller] | Also, what is a good 100Mb card for FBSD? I would just use a 509 (10Mb) card | but the kernel config files say the driver is buggy. I need a very reliable | network card/driver combination. I think you'll find that most people recommend a DEC 21140 based card - they work *very well* with FreeBSD. I use the SMC Etherpower 10/100 myself. I have measured 79 Mbps throughput with two P133s and a crossover cable, using ttcp or netperf. Could probably do better today - this was between a 2.1R system and a 2.2-960323-SNAP system. Steinar Haug, Nethelp consulting, sthaug@nethelp.no
