Hi,

I dunno particularly about the 8100 NICS but if it's any help...

We've found that any card based on the Realtek 8139 chipset works very
reliably and well to quite high load on its own, but combine it with
another Realtek 8139 in the same system and packets start getting
dropped etc. 

We had that problem on a server a couple a weeks back just thought it
was a duff card had no 8139 left used an Intel and all was well. NIce to
know that .

ThanksJake.
