RE: Anyone Use 3Com Gigabit Fiber-SX NIC?

["Ricardo, Gerson" <gricardo () gableseng com>]

John,

Redhat Linux 7.3 kernel 2.4.18-27.7.xsmp on a Dell Poweredge 2650 Dual Xeon 2.4Ghz, etc..  It works like a charm.  The 
driver for it is a loadable module when you compile the kernel.  Driver support for it was crappy though - as you may 
know 3com dishes no native Linux driver for the 1000SX series - you have to get it from a) your linux distribution b) 
compile the source it from a disinterested open source project that hasn't been updated in years ( 
http://jes.home.cern.ch/jes/gige/acenic.html ).

Cheers,

Gerson

I use one to sniff a SPAN port for our main trunk VLAN. I have it inside a 64bit PCI slot running on a Dual 2.4Ghz 
Workhorse with 1GB DDR RAM and 2x 36GB 15K Cheetahs. Works like a charm! CPU utilization never goes above 10% usage. If 
you have any questions about it, please feel free to ask!

Has anyone used a 3Com Gigabit Fiber-SX NIC with Snort?  If so, can you share any comments?  Good, bad, ugly?
