What cards are you running and what switches are you looking at?

$100 per port. Way out of my price range!

Looks like the cards perform well under Linux:

I can't believe the price on those cards. Boy times are a changin'. The switch is actually *extremely* cheap compared to what I had to pay for 3com fibre switches. I believe at the time I bought them (probably 3 or 4 years ago) I paid around $10,000US per switch and if I recall they each had 8 fibre ports. But the prices will fall. Have you looked into any other card/switch combos?

I haven't looked around as much as I would have liked to. I have a chem test tomorrow (READ: NEED SLEEP), so I'll talk to you later.

See, not having wireless is not so bad.
