Quad ethernet internal cards
Posted by bigwrench, 11-28-2009, 05:58 PM After adding 2+ ethernet adapters and running out of PCI slots, I've been considering one of those quad ethernet cards on a single PCI slot. It's for setting up a firewall+router+server++ in a single box. Any experience or suggestions with any quad cards? Models under consideration: Intel Pro/1000 PT or ZNYX ZX346Q.
Posted by soulhunter, 11-29-2009, 12:57 AM Intel use to be a good choice, specially if running Linux... Try to avoid Broadcom (I had some issues with broadcom cards on a load balancing Linux box about 10 months ago).

Posted by RemyHorton, 11-29-2009, 12:04 PM I've got a D-Link DL10050 which worked quite well once I figured out how to override the default port/interface assignments. Only complaint is that its a 10/100Mbit card, and i'm gradually upgrading my network to gigabit..
