Remember what I said about it being a software bridge... Intel cards in
general are not known for being CPU-Friendly...
That's not my experience. I don't remember any eepro100 driver lock-ups, and I have at least 1000 card-years of experience with them, ranging back from 2.0.x to 2.6.x. We replaced all of our 3com cards due to driver problems (circa 1998), but the Intel cards Just Worked. We never noticed a CPU load problem, but we were only rarely concerned with CPU load, anyway.
Really the tulip based cards are the fastest I've seen, I know they're kinda
cheap boards usually but they scream performance-wise...
I've always been nervous about Tulip clones. I have a half-dozen 21143 boards at home that are great.
