Anything based on the Dec Tulip chip (21140 & related chips) is excellent. I've had success witht he SMC cards; I've heard good things about the Kingston cards ($45 is the primary good thing) but haven't tested them personally. I can't vouch for *BSD with tehse cards, but I think it supports them very well, a friend looked at the driver and liked it. I know they work well under Linux but that is probably of little concern here :-) -- --- Larry McVoy lm@sgi.com http://reality.sgi.com/lm (415) 933-1804
