I'm looking for a recommendation on what sort of fast ethernet card I should
get for a new FreeBSD machine I'm putting together.  The more common cards
include:

3C595
Intel Etherexpress PRO/100
Digital DE500
SMC 9332DST

Does anyone have any specific recommendations for what's good and what
isn't?  The machine is going to get quite a battering, so a solid driver and
card would be nice.
