We have had problems with BGE, but have had good luck with intel FXP and EMO, but they are expensive. -naseem -----Original Message----- From: Mike Jakubik [mailto:mikej@rogers.com] Sent: Sat Oct 08 08:31:46 2005 To: jpeg@thilelli.net Cc: John Pettitt; stable@freebsd.org; Markus Trippelsdorf Subject: Re: Good, stable gigabit nic?

As a second choice, i would look in to a Broadcom based card, 'man bge' for that one. _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"

The only ones I've ever had problems with were the Tigon and Marvell, and the latter was fixed nearly a year ago. All except the Tigon and Broadcom are running under 5-STABLE; the Broadcom is running 6.0b5. I can't comment on the Level I, Nominal Semidestructor, or VIA chips as I've never seen any. -GAWollman -- Garrett A.
