Hi,
first i wonna thank you for the great work.
I have few slack boxes with several 3com cards that acts as routers.
Some of them has 50+ vlans, 100 000+ routing entries, full BGP (zebra) with 10+ peers
and routes 50-70 mb/s traffic. Everithing is rock solid, few months uptimes.

I wona to upgrade some of my cards and need advice what to use.
On 100+mb/s interrups killing my boxes - 20 000+/s (yes, coalescing, i know:))
What to use? tigon2 or tigon3 for gigabit? (3c985 or 3c996)

and  - is there any performance changes between 3c905 and 3c980 (both 100mb/s) like coalescing, checksums ...

Thanks again for the work.
