Hi Misc@,
 Today I find a very difficult situation, I cannot find any shop in
Indonesia that have stocks on single port intel PRO/1000MT PCI NICs. So  
I
had to make a decision, replace this NICs with something more available  
and

that would be Dlink DFE530T NIC, which I had no experience on this NICs.
Many on list recommend these em(4) cards, but nothing on Dlink.
 I'm basically trying to develop Loadbalance/redundant Puffy Gigabit
routers, on Intel S3000AH boards which already had onboard em(4)s. I  
already
have installed i386 4.3-current on this boards, doing bgpd, pf, and  
carp.

Btw, 4,3-current seem to do fine in these boxes.
 So, I'm lookin forward for any hints, suggestions or someone to shares
their experiences with typical setup.
 Kind Regards,


DFE sounds like 10/100 only, you didn't mean DGE530T?
Those works very well (they are sk(4) devices), but 32bit/33MHz
PCI doesn't quite fill a 1000baseT.


My bad, it actually a DGE530T. Thanks for the info Ake..
Kind regards,
