Hi,
	I'm looking for comments on the Intel 82596CA.  This is there
latest lan controller.  I used the 82586 many years ago and ran into
all of the (now well-known) problems.  Needless to say I'm a little
leary of using this part without some good references.  We would be
using the part in 32-bit linear mode (flat address space) with the
'simple' memory structure in a high performance application with the
controller in promiscuous mode.  I'd be interested in any problems
or quirks people have run into (in this or other modes).  Thanks,

Jeff Fitzgerald
