Wont get 1000 Mbps with a PCI card [Posted on 2007-05-09]
Dont expect to get 1000 Mbps out of any PCI card, unless you have PCI express. But I clocked FTP transfer speeds at 380 Mbps.
very good product [Posted on 2007-07-01]
i bought it with the gigait edition router, the setup was pretty painless and it works great.
Perfect match for Linux [Posted on 2007-10-03]
I picked this up after having some trouble with a few other network cards, while trying to get both kgdb support in Linux, and gigabit ethernet networking at the same time.
This card works perfectly with Linux, at least for the Redhat-based distros I've been dealing with lately. If you're compiling your network drivers into the kernel (not as kernel modules), for kernel 2.6.18 and later, just choose "Realtek 8169 gigabit ethernet support" in the kernel configuration and it will work.
Excellent Product [Posted on 2008-03-04]
This was a snap to install and get going. It is lightning fast and was well worth the small investment.
no driver support for Windows Server 2003 [Posted on 2008-04-25]
I purchased two of these NICs; one for a Windows 2003 Server and the other for a Vista workstation. Although there's support for Vista, there is no driver support for Windows 2003 Server. Sometimes Windows 2000 drivers work on Windows 2003 Server, but I opted not to make a testing activity out of my purchase. I've since checked the Microsoft HCL; returned the Netgear GA311 and purchased a NIC that's on the list from Amazon. RMA process with Amazon was very easy.
