Bear with me and allow me my delusions while I daydream...
What with FPGA technology as reasonable as it is, and the amount of hw/sw
talent on these lists, maybe people should band together and come up with
a NIC? Maybe have native mode + Tulip/PNIC clone compatibility mode.
Take a look at www.opencores.org for a start.
What production volumes are required before ASICs are feasible? What
about having a FreeBSD CDROM + NIC bundle featuring whatever card gets
designed?
If ya can't join 'em, beat 'em.
Okay. Back to work and reality. :-)
