I've had great luck with the Intel cards: singles, duals and quads. All |
| 17 |
work great. The tg3 module works for everything else except the stupid |
| 18 |
PCIExpress card (Belkin) I have for my laptop. That uses the sky2 module |
| 19 |
and it worked once, I'm sure, maybe even twice. But for servers, the |
| 20 |
Intels rock. You may even want to try a newer kernel's offloading |
| 21 |
capabilities with some of the cards. |
