Multi-port ethernet card

Tue May 27 03:24:10 PDT 2008

Anyone using multi-port twisted pair ethernet cards in a 2.6 kernel
Linux environment? I see a few out there (Cisco, dlink, apple,
supermicro, aei). Both of the 10/100 and the 1000 Mbit variety. Any
suggestions as to a good one that has been used? My goal is to be able
to get data out of network switches as quickly as possible so that some
network devices with inadequate buffering resources are least likely to
have an issue. The switches offer some buffering. But I am finding it
inadequate. The data arrives based on some measurement speed that cannot
be changed. Opinions welcome.
