There are no NICs known that can do packet forwarding offload.
And neither is there support in FreeBSD for that. You're probably
confusing this with checksum offloading or TSO (TCP segmentation
offloading) which isn't an issue with packet forwarding at all.
This was my understanding to until the original poster inspired be to
google yet another time for a card supporting packet forwarding offload.
To my suprise i found one!

4 port wire speed GigE forwarding on a PCI card with drivers for linux
CentOS 4. (And inter card links for joining more cards together.)
Hardware developed at Stanford under a BSD license, and they seem to have
cards ready to ship any day now.
I shure would like to take that card for a ride under FreeBSD!
a single flash disk that is replaceable without having to disassemble
the entire case. There are some 3.5" based flash disks on the market
or buy a CF to ATA adapter for mounting into a 3.5" disk slot and use
normal but fast CF cards. That'll do it.
May i ask if you take any precautions to protect against wearing out the
flash?
