Re: [Bridge] bridge with gigabit nework

[Advanced Hosting UNIX Admin Daniel Fairchild]

I did not do a bridge but just a gateway fire wall with dual gigabit cards 
and dual xeon 1.7 Ghz machine. 

the cards we used were the 3com 3C985B-SX fiber gigabit cards and we have 
pushed 160Mb/s across the firewall and it runs great. The 3com drivers are 
in the kernel. I looked into using the Intel gigabit cards they have no 
kernel drivers the only driver that was available at the time was one 
provided by Intel and it would only compile as a module so we opted to use 
the 3com cards.  we needed a tight kernel with every thing compiled in for 
speed. :)

I hope this helps email me directly if you have any more questions.

Unix is like a wigwam -- no Gates, no Windows, and an Apache inside.
