I apologize :) Neither way...single, dual, quad port(s) Intel's gigabit NICs will do the job as I stated before. Sun's gigabit NICs too(intel based). Although I don't know much about Broadcom's NICs because some are recognized in FreeBSD, others aren't. Don't ever think using Airlink, Encore, Zonet, cheapo gigabit(Realtek based chip)...too much packet loss(well that's my experience). -- "It is human nature to think wisely and act in an absurd fashion."
