The e1000 ethernet chipset is basically the best you can get for Linux today. The lockup problem is more likely because Digium cards (and others) have issues with IRQ sharing. Maybe one day the telephony card vendors will wake up and realise that PCI IRQ sharing is perfectly well defined since PCI 1.0 and that the only problems with it are due to bugs in their drivers or their cards. /Benny _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
