In recent testing with 8-Stable, we couldn't get our Intel cards to push
more than 450Mbps. We put some Broadcom cards in and we can get 980Mbps.

This used to be a hot topic long ago, but now seems to have become
rather dormant. Does that mean that all NICs are pretty much
commodity with all the good features (unaligned scatter/gather,
etc), or does it just mean that machine performance has grown to
the point where we don't care anymore?

Intel (fxp, em) and Broadcom (bce, bge) make fine NICs, and the
older DEC/Intel 21x4x Tulip series (dc/de) was quite good as
well.
Let me add my vote for Intel: I have a

Thanks! That's perfect. I have a chance to buy a few Intel Pro
10/100 (fxp) cards. I guess I'll take it!
If you don't need gigabit, the fxp cards are great-- very reliable and some
even support interrupt mitigation in firmware (which

Personally, I've had the best success with fxp and em cards (Intel), and the
worst with broadcom-based on-board nics, but have tried and worked with many
different cards over the years on FreeBSD. Hands-down though, I prefer
Intel's NIC offerings.
IIRC - Intel contributed to the development and
