based on 10+ exprience and working with a dozen models,
I recommend intel cards:
- Intel explicitly supports freebsd.
- the cards are highly stable
- have best performance among all other cards on freebsd
and if you look for best performance, buy a card
based on 82575 or 82576 controllers.

I have several Intel multi-port, (2 port, 4 port and even some 2 port
fibre-optic), cards in use. All have been rock-solid, stable performers, and
have hardware VLAN tagging and trunking capability. I have some 4 port cards
in use with LACP+VLAN Trunking, and then use vlan interfaces in FreeBSD

Any thoughts? I need/want to get a multi-port NIC for my new system but I
haven't purchased the guts for the server yet.
