Thanks for your advice. Not sure, if I am ready to be a besta Tester for Vyatta with new Hardware, I haven't test vyatta itself yet :-)
So who knows a good card with 4 Ethernet port card which for sure work fine with Vyatta ? and precision: not expensive :-) ? I check the hardware config, the 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet Interface, PCI-X, 4-port<http://www2.vyatta.com/store/Ethernet-Interfaces-AM-EMEA/10-100-1000-Mbps-Ethernet-Interface-PCI-X-4-port>looks good, but $700 is a bit too much for my small University :-/ and specially for with a PC which worth just a but more than that :-) Thanks Damien On 10/31/07, silvertip257 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Be very careful with quad port cards from Sun ...
