Phobos P430 4-port 10/100 NIC fits cleanly
Finding of a good candidate card for LRP

I found that the Phobos P430 4-port 10/100 NIC (available locally in the Bay Area on closeout for $29.95) fits cleanly in the PCI slot of the Websurfer, making it a good candidate for the Linux Router Project (LRP). This has four DEC/Intel 21143 MAC chips and a PCI bridge on one 2/3 length PCI card, sharing *one* interrupt, but with *four* separate MAC addresses. Just perfect for OpenBSD or Linux!

I installed it on a desktop with Mandrake Linux 8.1, and the Tulip driver had no difficulty in finding and configuring four interfaces, eth0..eth3.

I'm not sure why it's being closed out, since this is a very high quality card, with multi-layer PCB, Intel bridge, Intel MAC chips, Level One Phys, LED indicators, etc. (a networking startup probably imploded and unloaded all its inventory).

I got a few, and then went back to pick up some more, and they were gone...

Oh well, I'll just have to wait for more to show up elsewhere.

Who else makes NIC cards like this one? Where could I get some?
