What are the recommended network cards to use in a CATS system running
NetBSD ?

I have tried both an old DEC card and an Intel EtherExpress PRO+ without
much success. The system wouldn't boot at all with the DEC card and I get
no throughput at all with the Intel one.

I am currently running the version of 1.3 that came on CD with the system,
but was planning to compile 1.4 over NFS.

I guess I can plug the HD into another machine to get the 1.4 sources
on to it if the fxp driver works better in 1.4.
