Seconded. 3Com stuff is overpriced but reliable. They have also (prior to this
event) been very good at working with the Linux community, including digging out
docs for old MCA
Insteresting that this thread fell into this. I just had one of those
cards that came across my desk phreak out. It was 2 days old and placed
in a win2k server. Last night it started dumping errors about firmware
and bad microcde.
Have yet to test it out on another machine, but I beleive the ca
I've installed several thousand 3com cards of various ages and

So it would seem. Here is the polite message I received in response my
inquiry regarding the crypto interface to the card:

Erm, that is going to be a problem. Crypto benifits more from open source
than any other market segment, and binary only drivers for linux are not
the way to go. I guess I need to get rid of my 5-10 3cr990s and replace
them with someone else's product?

IPsec support will be binary only.

So what is the truth to the rumors 3com was throwing around about the
"linux driver with ipsec support"?

Thanks to Kip for clarifying why Linux doesn't use this feature, but now I
wonder why you beleive this?

I think that they are relatively friendly. However, if they publish the
interface to their card another company could come along with a card
with the same functionality and take advantage of pre-existing drivers and
undercut their price, thus taking away their margins. At least that is the
rationa
I thought 3com was pretty friendly to the Linux Community, was that a
misconception?

It can't because 3com hasn't implemented in the driver and they won't
publish the interface.
