on the "Supported hardware" list are merely tolerated, and which
vendors/chipsets are truly "supported" and cooperative?

. . .
the intels are not a bad choice; also there are bges I think.
you can find hp branded dual-port em well as bge, and intel-branded em,
on ebay at reasonable rates.

Thanks -- We'll probably end up paying street price for new Intel SX
fiber gigabit NICs.

Is there a reason I should avoid the very cheap SK-9844 refurbs I see
at various sites, these are a fraction of the eBay price for the dual
port Intel (PWLA8492MF)?.
