I think he was writing about WiFi cards. I've yet to find anything
bad about old-skool ethernet cards. Also the ethernet cards *do* have
free drivers unlike the wifi cards.
No, he made it explicitly clear he was talking about their gigabit
ethernet cards:
Approximately six years ago Intel gave the *BSD projects a driver
for the Intel gigabit cards, the so-called em(4) driver.
