Cheap dual port card?
Hello, I ran out of PCI slots on my firewall, but I need to put one network
card more into it. What's the cheapest dual port card that works with Linux 2.6? The alternative would be upgrading or using an ISA card, and neither option sounds very good. Thanks in advance |

www.pricewatch.com Have a nice week... Sorry, but that's not very useful. First of all, I'm in Spain, and even though there is an international section I don't see anything there that could be of any help. I did find the "ASOUND 4-Port Internal 10/100 PCI Router Car", but the google results were very unimpressive. Doesn't look like I have any significant chances of getting it to work. Also, I'm not looking for a cheap place that sells network cards, I'm looking for: First of all, the simplest dual port network card possible. The Realtek of dual port cards, so to say. On one hand, no fancy features like offloading of encryption or support of PCI at 66 MHz is needed. On the other hand, good Linux support is required, again just like Realtek. Performance may not be impressive, but it works just fine. Second, a nearby place where I could buy it, but this part I probably can do myself. The main thing is: two ports at least, simple, works with Linux 2.4 without any strange things like closed source drivers. |
