That one in particular does support jumbo frames, and does have FreeBSD driver support. I'm sure there are probably a number of other cheap cards on Newegg that'll work. Remember with NIC's though, you get what you pay for. If you really need high throughput, the $150+ USD cards are going to suit you much better than the $20 ones. The cheaper cards will flood your system with interrupts under heavy load and max out your CPU long before the more expensive cards will. The price difference comes largely from the capabilities of the card, where cheap ones offload most everything to the CPU, more expensive ones can do more without CPU involvement. > Is there any place to find out what chipsets were added to the 1.2b1 version > of m0n0wall?
