I've used the 4-port Adaptec ANA* cards. No major complaints, but I have
definately seen more anamolies than many years using fxp. I'd highly
suggest sticking to Intel for anything high-throughput.

As for the new Intel GB NICs... I'm glad to hear they're working well
with FreeBSD (haven't tried 'em yet)... That's a lot more than I can
currently say for Linux. ;)
