Yer know about the list but was looking for real usage experiences as I've tried supported cards before e.g. netgear and it just panics the machine with just ping :(

I use the em cards (Intel Pro 1000/MT's and the like) in many machines here, and they are rock solid. You'll pay a little more for them, but there is a reason for it.

Whats about performance and stability with MTU > 1500? I tried increasing MTU on my Intel-made servers to speed-up NFS, but both 5.3 em and 2.x Intel provided drivers get stuck after some time with interface in OACTIVE state.

arkadi.
