Actually, the LINUX 'forcedeath' driver for quite some time was quite 
inferior to the nfe/nve driver which also was cobbled together 
through reverse engineering. I had to use a MB that had those NICs on 
a few customer LINUX boxes and we ended up just installing a some old 
fxp nics we had sitting around to avoid various stability issues... 
As others have said, LINUX can have the same issues despite the 
oodles of extra $$$ resources.
