Intel. Broadcom. That's what we use here w/o any issues; however, there are some Intel NICs that are *not* able to handle Jumbo Frames due to an internal design glitch.
Seconded. I have a load of Intel 82576 and 82571EB's, and there have been no issues at all, including with Jumbo frames.
Please take note that some Intel 1G nics do not have jumbo frame support at all. So you won't have issues with jumbo frames either way. The question is whether there is jumbo frame support.
From my memory those that don't do jumbo were "desktop" versions of the chipset.
I believe all current manufactured models support jumbo frames.
The Desktop GT series certainly does not have jumbo frames. Not sure about others.
