Of the 3 you mention, ce should definitely be right out. It's old, don't even consider it.
e1000g has had some issues but I think of late it's been fine on my production Sun servers. nxge should be fine. Are you using these on a T5220 system? With the XAUI add-on card for 10Gb? If so, make sure you get a T5220 system with the new PCIe/XAUI riser cards. The original ones had electrical interference issues when populated with a XAUI (pronounce "zowie") card and a Qlogic HBA. This combination made the XAUI buss just noisy enough to cause link flaps on the nxge XAUI interface. The new riser cards have some capacitors added to clean the signal, curing this problem. /dale On Nov 22, 2008, at 12:17 AM, Bill Werner wrote: > I have a choice of using one of the above interfaces and associated > driver on my system.
