Quad port alternatives.

Since the DFE-570 has been discontinued... what are our alternatives? I've found a couple, but can't seem to find a reseller, etc. What Quad ethernet cards are you using?
Phobos p430tx
Z'NYX ZX346Q (just been replaced by a 64-bit card)
DFE-580TX (Removed from HCL, sundance issues)
DFE-570TX (Where can you get them?)
Adaptec ANA-6944A (Dec Chip)
Adaptec ANA-62044 (64-bit)
Cogent EM400 (DEC 21140 chip)
Cogent EM964

I'm looking for a card that has at least 2 ports.

Prefer 3 port.

Any ideas ?

There's the SMC 9334BDT (Tulip based). I'm not sure if it's supported though. I've read articles elsewhere regarding some problems with the PCI bridge used on some multi-port NICs.
There's such little information on multi-port cards in the HCL. That's why I started this thread.

FYI the Adaptec Quad NIC card does not support the HA feature of ASL4. They can be used to segment the network but not for HA.

But if there's been a fix, it would be great to know.

What version do you run(4.x/5x) and do you know the model number of the card. I asked our dealer for the if he could get the ANA-64044TX and he said he can only find ANA-64044LV. Is there a difference?
