I need a recommendation for a well supported EISA, ISA and PCI 
networking boards for FreeBSD.  The hardware and NIC FAQ does not 
mention any performance issues, only device driver and configuration 
issues.  100 base thin ethernet is preferred.  I understand that
my mileage will vary with my hardware configuration, but I would like
some rules of thumb of what works well.
