PCI Gigabit card suggestion?
Hi I have been looking at: http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=gigabitapropos=1sektion=0manpath=OpenBSD+4.2arch=amd64format=html However I am very puzzled... can someone please tell me which chipset you found that worked the best for you and if possible, which model of the brand you have brought after all? I am kind of scared of the bugs and caveat sections in some of the drivers... are they a show stopper at all? But yea I'll need to buy a new PCI Gigabit Ethernet anyway so why not go for the best supported one? -- Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.

Re: PCI Gigabit card suggestion?
Just to clarify, I am gotta to buy a new Gigabit PCI Card, so I was wondering which brand/model are best supported by OpenBSD... in terms of documentaion by the vendor and performance by the device. Thanks.
Re: PCI Gigabit card suggestion?
sk(4), em(4) and even bge(4) are considered good. -- Thanks, Jordi Espasa Clofent

Hi Sunnz, http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=gigabitapropos=1sektion=0manpath=OpenBSD+4.2arch=amd64format=html I have been looking at: http://www.openbsd.org/amd64.html#hardware But yea I'll need to buy a new PCI Gigabit Ethernet anyway so why not go for the best supported one? There are references in the archives. It depends on your budget and your task. People seem to like em and sk. For desktops, I might get a bunch of re's. HTH... Nico

Re: PCI Gigabit card suggestion?
The em's have the advantage that the driver enables and uses hard-level tcp/udp check-sum offloading. This does help on mid- to heavy loading. /S -Original Message- From: michael enoma aghayere [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Sunnz [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: misc@openbsd.org Subject: Re: PCI Gigabit card suggestion?
