Since the topic has been broached, we're also looking for an
NIC that will work in 4801/5501.  Some of our machines face
a "hostile" network--one that has seen various DoS attacks
(arp flood etc.) We've observed systems lock up under attack, becoming
useless until power cycled.  We'd like to select a NIC/driver/OS that
would hold up as well as possible.  Does anyone have any experience
suggesting some brand/model (100Mb) is more robust under these
conditions?
