Hi Ben,
We have some of this card here at work, but we couldn�t test�em yet because the supposed host servers (HP DL380) didn�t recognize them. That seems to be a BIOS-related problem, though we�re using the newest one. Err, I guess this doesn�t help much, does it? :P Well, anyway, if you use a ML380 you already know what to expect. ;)
 Have luck, :)

Hi,

I sent this originally to the -stable list, but maybe I will have better luck here:

I am about to upgrade one of our servers (running 4-stable) with a 1000Base-T network card, and the 3Com 3C996B-T looks interesting. This is for a small office server (e-mail, files, printers, webserver) serving about 25 pc's running a variety of Win2K, FreeBSD and Mac OS X.

I found some messages in the past indicating there were some problems with this card on FreeBSD. Are these problems solved? I also did not see this exact card in the hardware list, although the 3c996-SX and 3c996-T are mentioned.

Otherwise, any recommendations?

With kind regards,
Ben
