I use the D-Link DFE570TX card in several routers here. And I don't use the regular tulipdriver, it has problems with high packetrates yes, mostly because of high irqloads. I use the NAPI enabled tulipdriver and I have no problem routing 64byte packets at wirespeed here (148.800pps). > > If you have some more $$$ to spend and want commercial support for the NIC > > driver, you can get a very similar card from Znyz http://www.znyx.com/ - > > I've heard goo things about them. > The problem is I have been unable to find a distributor for those > boards .

Tia , JimL I think the same NAPI tulipdriver works with this card aswell. You can find the NAPI patch and tulip NAPI driver here: ftp://robur.slu.se/pub/Linux/net-development/NAPI/ They are currently working on optimizing the intel e1000 driver. /Martin Never argue with an idiot.
