thanks. yes, you are correct. okay, if i will be choosing between rtl8139-based chipset versus and eepro100 in a lan w/ more or less 300 in multihomed host/router, which one is that best? im thinking that the offloading feature of good nic will help router's overall performance. my router is p3 450mhz w/ 512mb memory. it has also pc300 sync card going to a frame-relay link. the pc300 has its own processor, so it will not load the main cpu very much. but, what bout my NIC? yeah, vlan has nothing to do with it. but i need it. and not every linux driver has good support for vlan, i guess. im also asking whre to get it locally _because_ our supplier always tells us that eepro100 is not availble (sometimes they'll say it's aready obselete), and always "force" us to use the commonly available cards. thanks. > > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Edel SM > Sent: Tuesday, March 11, 2008 8:08 AM > To: Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Technical Discussion List > Subject: [SPAM] - [plug] nic and vlan - Email found in subject > > hello, > > what brand and model would you recommed for a nic that has good > support for vlan (locally available of course!)? im looking for eepro > or dlink 2 or 4-port. our current lan is 100mbps (1gbps in > consideration). > > thanks. > > --edel > _________________________________________________ > Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List > [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) > Read the Guidelines: http://linux.org.ph/lists > Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph > > > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > This message and any files transmitted with it are confidential and > intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom it is > addressed.
