The site says almost nothing about the cards, but on a tip from a
coworker I bought one the last time this site had them for sale, and
have been extremely happy with it. lspci shows:

I just got mine, and ordered a bunch more...

These are the Phobos p430 NICs.  I have extensively benchmarked 2
of those NICs that I got as eval copies, and they perform as good
as or better than the 570tx, using the standard tulip driver.

I'm just curious. What do you do with a bunch of those cards? Do you put
them in a PC and make a switch out of it?

Or a firewall...  Or a router...

cheers,
Karen
