Has anyone done detailed benchmarking with various ethernet
cards and FreeBSD?  

I've been using 3COM 3C509's, but I was considering going
with either (a) faster ISA cards or (b) looking into some
100mbit ethernet cards.

This is mostly just to speed up NFS traffic and remote
backups.

Any tips/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Chris
