Hello List,

I am looking for a GBit network adapter which is well-supported under SUSE
10.0 for our (small) server. We will have 3 of these adapters in the server,
so the CPU load generated by the driver should not be too high. Intel
adapaters seem to have some serious problems (sometimes locking the whole
system for several milliseconds, so three of them are simply out of
discussion) and the cheaper adapter types (8169 etc.) pose a high CPU load.

What type of network adapter would you recommend?

Bye,

Jürgen
