I have been doing a lot of work lately with the Adaptec quad tulip boards.
They work great with 2.2 kernels ... not at all for me with 2.0. They have
an on-board PCI bus with a bridge to the system PCI bus. Shares one
interrupt so it is possible to build a firewall/router with up to 16
security zones on separate physical nets using the motherboards we have to
use.
