It is just that I was reading this page where they evaluate
gigi cards and they used the drivers from 3com.

The 3com drivers are open-source though, which makes
me less hesitent. And the tigon3 drivers lack of documentation
kind of irks me. I would however like to stick with a mainstream kernel
driver cause the support is there if it is needed. I guess I will give
both versions a whirl. From just glancing at the source of both, it seems
that both versions support jumbo frames which is really what I am after.
