Thanks.

The reason I'm thinking about adding ethernet ports is that I want to set up
my production box as a dhcp server to support network install of -current on
other machines. Getting the lan1641 will free up 2 lan cards and 1 slot in my
production box and allow installation of the freed-up lan cards in the 'victim'
:-) machines so that I can connect them to my main box.
