[TriLUG] looking for a quad ethernet card

[Jason Tower]

greg,

i have an adaptec ANA-6944A/TX 4-port nic if you're interested ($100).  it has 
4 discrete digital 21140 10/100 controllers (eth0 thru eth3).  i plugged it 
in once and all four interfaces showed up, but i never actually configured 
them.
