Are there good 10Gb cards/drivers for the linux side?
My NAS vendor has deployed many systems with Chelsio 10GbE cards in the field, say they are good.

I have a friend who does 10GbE iSCSI testing for Broadcom, he recently started testing iSCSI offload for Broadcom/Linux, while the iSCSI(offload) stuff isn't quite so solid yet the regular 10GbE stuff is. I think for the most part Broadcom stuff is OEM these days.
Interesting. Do you know how big CPU usage difference there is offloaded vs. non-offloaded?
10 Gbit iSCSI is very interesting :)
Intel recently launched a low power 10GbaseT adapter(2nd or 3rd generation), I haven't heard much about it but my general experience with Intel GbE NICs has been positive

This seems to based on the older 82598 chipset. 82599 is the newest Intel 10 Gbit chipset.
