This is a 10/100 Mbit/sec Ethernet controller. Works fine with the standard 3c59x kernel driver. I never used the management functions, so I cannot judge that part of this card. It works fine on almost any 2.4 and 2.6 kernel.

Worked instantly with Sarge, but have noticed that only
Konqueror will open web pages ?
Which I found also applies to the Knoppix post I did previously...

I've got this card half year ago and very pleased with it's performance (comparing to Realtek based card I had before).
Since I use custom kernels I only have to enable built-in kernel drivers and re-comiple it in order to get it work.

The card is good, but the wake on lan feature don't always work. This is an expensive card, so wol should work as other expensive cards like intel ones.

I'd been using 2 of these cards in a server for the
past 7 years - always a RedHat related OS (Fedora
and now CentOS).
I never had a problem, until a couple of weeks ago.
I had to switch ISP's to Virgin Broadband (in the UK),
and with their cable modem (ntl 250), it was not
stable.
Something between those two devices was not happy,
and the card/connection would drop out constantly.
I still use the card for my internal network, but
had to replace it for the external network connection.
I have no idea why, but I'm sure it was related to
the card (after several test of various combinations
of kit).
John.
