Hi,

as it becomes more and more harder to get NICs with
DEC-chips, what would be a useful replacement? I know
the Intel cards are really good (but they are expensive).
What about the VIA Rhine, as my dealer send me some
D-Link DFE-530TX as replacement for the D-Link DE-530TX?
Are these cards and the driver reliable?

Kind regards,

Thomas.
