Hi!

We'd like to build GbE testbed running Linux Kernel 2.2.x (17) , what card
(PCI64/66) would you recommend? We are looking for the hardware with the
best-developed linux driver.

There are several options of Gigabit Ethernet adapter in your homepage.
and in the Linux kernel configuration help file.  They are

1. Packet Engine Hamachi GNIC-II (I just heard that Packet Engine GNIC-II is
disconnected, right?)
2. Alteon AceNIC
3. SysKonnect:  Various models  -LX, -SX, -T cards.
4. Intel PRO/1000 T (copper)


Thanks very much


Hugh
