There is also Netboost ( www.netboost.com ).  I just like their nifty quote:

Subject: Packetfilter NICs



Anyone have experience running AGs with packet filter NICs, or is
Neocore the first?  Apparently Neo-Core is coming out with a PF NIC that
is configurable by 'the host'.  (http://www.neocore.com)

Interesting idea, similar concept to the Cabletron Yago switch which
does hardware routing, via tables maintained by routing software.
