Which is better ethernet controller?
« on: January 13, 2006, 12:07:21 PM »
Getting ready to rebuild my old miggy and not sure which of the two newer ethernet cards are better (hardware wise and with tcp/ip drivers) my two choices are X-surf3, or Norway Addon (leaning more towards the Norway since i can bundle that with USB) also not too happy with realtek since they dont perform 100% on my linux box

 A2000 is the project machine currently being rebuilt, And it already has a Budda/Catweasel so no need to factor in the IDE on Xsurf

@amije

I enquired for you, for the Norway etc but they are unavailable unfortunately.  I have requested any future stocks, if there is going to be another production run.

 Thats fine i guess my only choice now is todo X-surf with Subway (and now with the Norway clearly not stating fullduplex i think i'll go with the above solution)
