[Bridge] Which NICs are the best for bridges?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

I seem to remember seeing a notice about NICs with RealTek Chips 
(specifically those using the 8139 Chip) being unstable and slow. This 
notice has since vanished (removed or reworded?).

Can someone tell me if this problem has been fixed, or suggest stable 
(and fast) NICs I could use instead. My options seem to be Intel, 
VIA-Rhine or RealTek 8139C based models only.

I'm trying to set up a box that will support multiple independent 
bridges, i.e. with 4 or more dedicated hardware interfaces. 4 Port NICs 
would be great for this, but since they are expensive, it would be nice 
to know if they work, before buying them.

Thanks

Christian Funk
