I need to buy a PCI-E ethernet card. It won't really matter if it is 10/100/1000 or just 10/100 but it has to work with FreeBSD at a minimum. It would be Nice if it was also supported by Linux and Windoze7, but that isn't really critical.
I have Intel and Broadcom ethernet chips on several servers that run FreeBSD. They are supported under Linux and MS Widows as well.

I'm a serious cheapskate, so I'd like to spend as little as possible. I don't need anything super-deluxe. Whatever is cheapest will be fine, even if the performance is only so-so. Recommendations would be appreciated. P.S. The small amount of research I just now did suggests that Realtek based cards should be avoided, but one reviewer said that the Rosewill RC-411v3 works just fine on Ubuntu, so I'm not sure what to think about Realtek-based cards now. The price is right (for me) on the Rosewill RC-411v3, but various online threads (relating to Realtek chips) give me pause... https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/60033/ https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/55861/ I really can't see blowing fifty bucks on a simple, low-end ethernet card, but everything inexpensive seems to be Realtek-based. :-( _______________________________________________ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-net-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
