freebsd stable - Dec 2005 - Heavy loaded network machine

Due to the latest thread on em interrupt storm i would like to know
which is the recommended nic to choose to be deployed on a -STABLE

Read "recommended" as: which works good without known wired behavior
and
has produced good performance over a gigabit wire

The em(4) driver in STABLE is now in quite good state. We use it on
heavy loaded routers. The interrupt storm in the thread you mention
was probably caused by some bad hardware combination between mainboard
and NIC.
