I've been running with a D-Link DFE530TX (vr driver) networking card for a 
long time (since 1.4 I think). It has occasionally "hung" and had to be 
restarted with ifconfig down/up. As I've upgraded to 1.5, 1.6, and finally to 
2.0 I've hoped that this problem would go away, but it hasn't. A quick search 
of the mailing list archives indicates that this is a known problem with this 
ethernet chip.

I've recently moved my normal working system upstairs from the basement. My 
NetBSD fileserver is still downstairs and it is now too far away for the 
ifconfig solution. ;-)

My question is: Does anyone have a recommondation for a good network card 
replacement that I can buy from Best Buy/CompUSA, etc? What brand/model 
should I look for?

Thanks.
