Maybe I'm asking for too much here, but does anyone know of a 4 port NIC that supports both VLAN tagging and polling? Looks like only em and nge handle both (in 4.11), so it stands to reason that I'm having a hard time finding this beast. Thought maybe someone had better luck than I've had in this search.

Intel makes a 4 port em card, so what is so hard about finding it, as every major distributor carries it?

Why anyone would be so clueless as to use polling with an em card is beyond the scope of this discussion, but I have to admit it has great entertainment value!
