Card marked incorrectly [Posted on 2006-08-19] I purchased two cards - one circuit board was marked correctly, the other was marked as a LNE100TX which is only a 100 Mbps card. However, the LED on the card bracket had a label indicating "Gigabit". When I installed the card the driver indicates it is an EG1032 and it links up at 1-Gigabit. Appears that manufacturing mis-marked the cards, although the chip layout is different than my other EG1032. The rub is that tech support will not provide warranty support since they insist it is a 100 Mbps card and will only honor the marking on the card.
Other than these issues the card works fine.

Excellent Product & Value [Posted on 2007-01-03] I needed more speed on my network. I run a home based business and have 8 computers on the network. The computers could handle a large amount of data quickly. The standard speed switches I had could only operate at 10/100. I looked into and purchased two Gigabit Switches (16 and 5 ports). I also purchased the corresponding network adapter cards (that's a no brainer). It was one of the best technology investments I made in 2006.

Even though the Cat5e spec is for cables up to 300 meters long, you may have issues with a much shorter cable, depending on factors such as the quality of the cable, the connections, bends in the cable, etc. I experienced data loss with a 90 foot cable.
