    I am running a 500AU. I am interested to know what network cards are
    supported by Tru64 apart from the onboard digital network card. I am
    still having problems with the full duplex/auto etc settings with the
    onboard setting.

    I have setup both the switch and network card to 100-FULL and it doesnt
    resolve the poor performance with a catalyst 2950. Ive also tried
    10-FULL, 10-HALF, 100-HALF on both ends and the performance is dismal.

    I did get it stable at 10-FULL in FreeBSD for a period of time with
    FreeBSD 5.2.1 but in 5.3 that was no longer the case. I am begining to
    suspect the onboard is faulty or the Catalyst 2950 sucks more than I
    thought. With the old 2900XL it had no problems.
