In my opinion you'd be better of getting a 100baseFX <-> 100baseTX media
converter and then a well supported 100/1000baseT card if the
application allows.
Alternatively, I've used the 100baseFX Intel cards in the past which use
the well looked after fxp driver.
LOL, why would you want 100Mb fiber? If Intel sells such a thing I'm
not aware of it. The cables would probably cost more than the NIC :)
We sell lots of Gig fiber, modernize would be my recommendation.
Cheers,
Jack
