Dear *, I would like to buy a pair of 1000BaseSX cards up to 200EUR each from Germany for an OpenBSD-based gateway.
Does anybody have experience or tips on Allied Telesis' Broadcom BCM5703S-based AT-2916SX and AT-2931SX or the Marvell 88E8022-based AT-2971SX /all priced around 90EUR/ ? I see { PCI_VENDOR_BROADCOM, PCI_PRODUCT_BROADCOM_BCM5703 } in the if_bge.c, but no support for the BCM5703S, is that true? The data sheet is at http://www.alliedtelesyn.com/products/line.aspx?pid=50 The other one I found within that price range is 3Com's 3C996-SX,priced 165EUR at Amazon.de, any experience with that one? The data sheet is at http://www.3com.com/products/en_US/detail.jsp?tab=prodspec&sku=3C996-SX&pathtype=purchase I also found IBM NetXtreme 1000 SX+ at http://www.amazon.de/IBM-NetXtreme-Ethernet-Adapter-1000BSX/dp/B0008ENE6K/ref=pd_rhf_p_t_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1216730673&sr=1-1, any idea what that is and weather it is supported ? :) Any ideas and recommendations on these or any other cards available for purchase within Germany are more than welcome!
