The quad-port ZX346 I use doesn't seem to have this problem:
Name Mtu Network Address Ipkts Ierrs Opkts Oerrs Coll
de0 1500 link#1 0:c0:95:e0:4:24 58900 0 266 0 0

Will the slightly cheaper Cogent quad-ethernet cards be supported
any time soon? Or are they already? Does anyone have experiences
(good or bad) with these?
Thanks,
