Personally, I wouldn't willingly purchase a Tigon3 NIC, considering its
(and Broadcom's) rocky history under Linux, and the general firmware
bugginess I've heard so much about. I understand the tg3 driver is much
happier these days than it used to be, though; a while back, I'm not sure
you could have called it "well behaved" (yay, hard lockups!). I'd lean
toward Intel. YMMV, though.
