That card is a little cheaper too. I did some research a while back and
it seems the Intel i350 is well supported in Linux. Intel makes them
but so does Dell and others. From my understanding, they all work the
same since they have the same chipset tho. But, the one you linked to
is cheaper and I found one on ebay even cheaper. Really nifty. :-D
I was looking at the mobo manual and noticed the built in network port
is a 1Gb chip as well. It is a Realtec and the last time I tried to use
it, it was a bit flakey. Sometimes it would work but sometimes I'd have
to restart the network to get it going again. That was about a decade
ago. I wonder, is the drivers better today than they were then? I
would have used it all this time if it worked well. Anyone have
experience with this in the last year or so that is showing it working
really well and stable? Keep in mind, I run 24/7 here. If that works
fine, I could just use it. lspci shows this for the on board network:
Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit
Ethernet Controller (rev 06)
I have 2 PCIex1 and one PCIex 4 slots open. The small ones are close to
my video card and I'm not sure I can use them. Can I plug these types
of cards into the larger slots? I think I read once that can be done.
It's been ages tho. My old network card appears to be in a old PCI plain
slot. It's a really old card, works faithfully tho.
This may require some rearranging. Or using the on board network one.
I'd really prefer the card tho. They just tend to work better.
Thoughts??
Thanks.
Dale
