Just got a 3Com Superstack 1000 ethernet switch that I'd like to start
pushing the envelope on. It sports 24 switched 10Mbit ethernet ports and
one fast ethernet port. Right now the 100Mbit port is sporting a 3Com 905
at the other end which is running fine on an NT server. Would like to move
it to a FBSD box though.

Can anybody recommend (for or against) any particular ethernet adapter ?
I'm looking for PCI NIC's with switchable 10/100Mbit capability and
full-duplex support.

TIA
