Possibly slightly off topic, but does anyone (Hi Richard! Hi Si!) know of a New Zealand source for gigabit nics (optical, not copper) which are (a) not priced at defence department levels, and (b) supported by linux?
SX or LX? The cheapest we have that go in linux are some of the 1000baseSX D-Link ones, with Lucent silicon. Whoever the distributors are (Renaissance?) should be able to quote. The performance suffers however, apparently. Might be better of paying a bit more if you need stellar performance. The other place to check would be to read the kernel tree for cards/chips that have drivers, and go from there...
