I am thinking of doing a project involving high speed networking of PCs
running UNIX.  Therefore, I was wondering if someone had tried working
with high speed networks on PCs using Linux or Free/Net BSD.  In
particular:

1. Has anyone had any experience writing Linux or Free/Net BSD drivers for
   PC based HiPPI cards?

2. Has anyone had any experience writing Linux or Free/Net BSD drivers for
   any other high speed networks, e.g., FDDI or 100MB/sec ethernet.

I would appreciate any pointers you can give me.

Thanks,
Sam
