i've currently got a SMC/WD Elite32 EISA board (yup, ~700) that i'm working
on a driver for... (i've also got an 8003EBT in the machine for normal use...)
i'd really recommend SMC/WD boards; they're *great*, and their technical
support is absolutely *incredible*...
BTW: if you're creating a server, the Elite32 is probably the way to go;
it's got *two* physical ethernet connectors, and chipsets,
and is designed for server/gateway applications...
driver coming soon, as soon as i find the time and energy to
crank it out... (probably end up being after usenix, tho...)
