the most stable card that i personally have experienced with linux in an ISP environment has been the intel etherPRO 100 ofcourse 3com509b has also proven itself in my services but the 9XX series is a nightmare the wol versions of intel cards are also a nightmare so just get a genuine version of intel etherPRO 100 and you can be sure then that your NIC is a reliable one regards Mat ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jack Malone" <jack@malone.tyler.com> To: <suse-linux-e@suse.com> Sent: Friday, August 04, 2000 7:39 PM Subject: RE: [SLE] Ethernet card: Need advise.
I have always had good luck with linksys card both the old 10 meg ones an the 10/100 card work very nicely for me under linux.

Then you would be a lucky one. I've nothing but problems with 3Com, especially the 3C9XX PCI cards. They almost all seem to have problems getting IP's in a DHCP environment (at least with SuSE) and the probs have always cleared if I replaced then with Intel or Netgear. Furthermore, they have horrendous packet loss under high loads.
