Which of these NICs will work?

[H.Fazaeli]

  based on 10+ exprience and working with a dozen models,
I recommend intel cards:

- Intel explicitly supports freebsd.
- the cards are highly stable
- have best performance among all other cards on freebsd

and if you look for best performance, buy a card
based on 82575 or 82576 controllers.
