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
