hello misc@
from the page http://www.openbsd.org/42.html , one of the changes made
to OpenBSD 4.2 is

A change in the way the kernel random pool is stirred greatly
increases performance with network interface cards that support
interrupt mitigation, especially on architectures where reading the
clock is expensive (such as amd64).

What would be some Examples of Network Cards that Support "interrupt mitigation"

I guess on this Subject I need educated because I am not all together
sure what interrupt mitigation is and why I want it.

Thank you for another GREAT release

Sam Fourman Jr.
