What ethernet cards are people actually using in their file server
kernels? I ask because I've got newer but probably untested or lightly
tested drivers for a few cards, and I'm just using the intel gbe card
these days in my file server, though I do have a spare machine with the
SiS 630/900/7016/whatever controller in it that I could use for testing.

Just to clarify, I'm asking about /sys/src/fs kernels, not cpu kernels
on which fossil runs.

I was using a generic 1Gbit Natsemi (etherdp83820.c) just out of sheer
despiration (I couldn't find anything else that worked in our house at
the time).
I recall having to lightly patch the fs64 sources to use it though - I
just don't remember why.
