Would you recommend the product? yes | Price you paid? (in USD): $50.00 | Rating: 1

Kernel (uname -r): 2.6.7
Distribution: Debian



This uses the e1000 driver under 2.6 also works with 2.4
(The official driver available from Intel website is the GPL one in the kernel tree - also backported to 2.4)

I have 3 of these cards and I am unfortunately having lots of problems getting them working with my AMD/Via systems :(

It's not working at all with my AOpen AK77-600GN
My Asus A7V600 is better but still has problems as does my ASUS A7V133
(I'm not using the cards in any of them for now)

Intel are providing excellent support and I look forward to coming back and rating it 10...

Kernel (uname -r): 2.6.5-gentoo
Distribution: Gentoo


When installing with gentoo it wouldn't work unless I used the smp kernel, also, I had to flash the PXE on the card when I got it because I got a message that the vendor and device ID's did not match. Other than that it has been working great, worked with Mandrake 10.0 official, but not with Redhat 9.0, or mandrake 9.2, or 9.1. This card is also autodetected in FreeBSD 5.1. (I have the 1 port version of this card aka the desktop version)

I have two of these. One is being used with a i810 500Mhz Celeron box --- Fedora Core 2. The other is on a A7A266 Athlon 1800+ box --- Fedora Core 1. They also support jumbo frames, your gig switch needs to support jumbo frames also.

DIdn't have to do swat with installing one of these on my fileserver which the old 10/100 card died.

Gigaby 7VT600 + AMD Athlon XP 1900+

Defnetly recommend this card, automatically detected with no configuration.

Will defnetly be getting more of these cards when needed.
