    All,

    I have an application where I am doing quite a bit of high-touch packet
    fiddling and I am looking for opinions on which "standard" Gb NIC
    has the best driver support in 5.2 or CURRENT.

    In my dream world I am looking for something that supports:
            - IRQ mitigation / polling (absolute must)
            - PCI-X (absolute must)
            - HW checksumming
            - Scatter / Gather
            - IPsec
            - Jumbo frames
            - VLANs

    Thoughts??
