Intel has warehouses full of [NICs]! Why does Intel have a warehouse full of the things? Because they are second rate products. End of story. This is simply not correct. I've used the Intel 82558-based NICs (10/100 Ethernet) extensively, and they're great: cheap, robust, high-performance, low CPU overhead, etc. I have no experience with modern COMS NICs; I imagine they're also good. (I do know the Intel cards compare favorably with cards based on the DEC 21140 chip.) I'm sure that there are all kinds of good and valid reasons to buy COMS NICs; Intel's cards being "second rate products" is not one of them.
