Multi-NIC cards

[Norman Widders]

Greetings,

are there any decent quad-port network cards for FreeBSD?

ie I have a 1U, which needs four (4) extra interfaces/NIC's
to act as a gateway/fw. (6 nics needed in total)

So I was curious about such devices
(the 1U already has dual-NIC onboard)

The FreeBSD Hardware list includes
the ANA-62044 64-bit quad port 10/100baseTX adapter
are there any others known/tested/supported/widely-available?

Will ipfw/bridging support work with this configuration if I can
find a quad-network card ? sorry if this is in the archives but
if you've done this before, please let me know, TIA!


kind regards
