After a slug of requests: IC Intracom 800-881-7325 The 10BaseT are Realtek chipsets, the 100 is Tulip (or so they said). I have no idea re: xBSD, but Don Becker told me the Linux drivers would be OK.

10bT #510127 $40 Q2 10/100 #504034 $99 Q2 was what I just was told. -- A host is a host from coast to coast.................wb8foz@nrk.com & no one will talk to a host that's close........[v].(301) 56-LINUX Unless the host (that isn't close).........................pob 1433 is busy, hung or dead....................................20915-1433

Sorry folks these are "hub cards". Eg cards with a *single* ethernet transciever, and 4 hub ports. #510127 is half duplex only. The cheapest true 4 port ether card ive seen is the DLink DFE570TX. You can get them for ~$150 new. http://store.yahoo.com/shopnetlux/dfe-570tx.html -Dan

Do you have one in hand? I ask because I received explicit assurances directly from the retailer's expert that they were NOT that; that they had 4 separate ports. They do have a card with a switch. -- A host is a host from coast to coast.................wb8foz@nrk.com & no one will talk to a host that's close........[v].(301) 56-LINUX Unless the host (that isn't close).........................pob 1433 is busy, hung or dead....................................20915-1433

The person I talked to told me explicitly that they were hub cards. Looking at the product picture I would have to agree -- there is only 1 ethernet chip on the card. The fact the 10bt one is half duplex only would also lead to that conclusion.
They do have a card with a switch.
Its a different part number, #509961. It explicitly states its switched. The photo for #504034 (4 port 10/100 hub) and #509961 (4 port 10/100 switch) are exactly the same so its hard to say exactly what components are on each. Both the 4 port 10/100bt hub and the 4 port 10bt hub are listed as "SOHO use" would lead one to believe the 10/100bt one is a *hub*. The product listing for the 10/100 switch is very different. In any case download http://www.icintracom.com/pdf/cat5.pdf and have a look at page 5. The sales rep I talked to did say that they were some other vendors cards (anyone know who?) relabeled as ic intracom's "intellinet" product line. -Dan
Garumph... I never saw a picture & they had no on-line catalog. I carefully questioned the so-called guru in late Jan. He swore 3 different ways that it was a true 4-port card. And they now deny they had some other product. Guess I was snookered.
