Re: 100mbit nic: intel or 3com?
Victor,
IMHO (and this might get me flamed), 3com. I have tried a lot of other cards
and I have found that 3com's are well supported (by both linux and doze) and
just seem to keep running. 3com's are usually more expensive then the others,
but I feel the extra cost is worth having less aggravation.
