Do not get this if you're running Linux [Posted on 2007-03-11]
Works fine on Windows XP, but does not work well with Linux. I've been using Linux for at least 10 years and compiling my own kernels for most of that time, and still had issues getting this card to run under Linux. My built in 10/100 NIC was much faster than this card would go. Ended up getting an Intel gigabit card that, of course, works with no issues. Save yourself some headaches and stay away from this card if it is destined for a Linux box.
Lasted 3 Months! [Posted on 2007-04-25]
I started having connection issues with this card about a month ago and it finally died today. I would stay away.
Great Network Adapter [Posted on 2007-07-24]
This adapter works very well. I installed in a system which runs Ubuntu 7.04, and it recognized the card with ease. The only problem I had was that it didn't quite fit into my case, but that probably has more to do with the fact that I have a microATX motherboard in a full ATX case. Definitely recommend this product.
compatible with Window Server 2003 [Posted on 2008-04-30]
I purchased the D-Link NIC after initially getting two Netgear gigabit NICs (for a Vista Ultimate workstation and Windows 2003 Server). The Netgear GA311 NIC had Vista, but no Windows Server 2003 drivers. Amazon provided an RMA for the second Netgear NIC and I purchased the D-Link NIC which installed without incident on my Windows 2003 Server.
The Vista workstation, Windows Server 2003 and a NAS RAID box are connected via two Netgear gigabit switches at two locations. Unfortunately, both NICs are PCI (not PCIe) and will not be able to perform at full gigabit speeds; aside from this, the upgrade is still a significant performance upgrade from 100Mbit NICs and I hope to see my backup and file transfer durations drop to about a third of what they are now.
I have no complaints [Posted on 2008-05-03]
Didn't even have to use the cd. This works great and will keep using this product. I had 2 onboard nics fail on me for some reason and had to put this in the computer.
