Hi all,
Could someone please suggest me a good 4 port NIC ( I mean I will be
able to use it in the same way as I use 4 NICs but it will only
consume only 1 PCI slot) for OpenBSD 3.7??
Not a Gigabit one please
Sorry vetrans, I am a little behind in hardware part :-( but sure I
am catching up :-)
And if somebody wants me to define what I mean by "good" then
good = nice perfomance i.e one that will not give me the error the
current NIC gives me
" dc0: watchdog timeout "
yikes.
Some (all?) of the best quad-port 10/100 NICs are based on Intel 21143
dc(4) chips. There are some cheap dc(4) chips out there which work
poorly. However, I'm not aware of anyone making a quad-port cheap-dc(4)
card -- the ones I have seen were all 21143-based. That's not to say
someone didn't make one, but I'm not aware of one.
You didn't specify the card you have, or provide a dmesg of the machine
giving you this error...both would have been interesting.
Oh! am sorry :-(
I am not using a quad card now. I want to fit 5 nics to a system that
has only 2 PCI slots thats why I am searching.
I am giving you the details of the system.
Tankyou so much for your advice and explanation :-)
kind regards
Siju
