The heady days of the late 90's, when the 3C595 (code name "vortex"), 3C905 (with "Parallel Tasking"!), and the Intel 82557/82558-based NICs (like the PRO/100B with its distinctive odd circuit board shape[1]) reigned supreme! Those were fun times. I put out a number of Red Hat 6.2-based servers w/ the Intel NICs, got hit with the dreaded eepro100 "receiver lock-up" bug, and had to end up putting in 3C905 NICs in their place to get stable network connectivity. Good times. >smile< [1] https://universaldatasystems.org/shop/product/intel-pro-100b-10-100-pci-fast-ethernet/ https://universaldatasystems.org/shop/product/intel-pro-100b...
