A plug in play that works in Linux! This card worked out of the box. Although I'm not getting gigabit speeds to my Buffalo Gigastation connected on a D-Link DGS-2205 Switch. I'm running under 60Mbps (watch out if you use konqueror drag/drop because you think it was done lightning fast 100% but it's still doing it in the back-ground until 'stalled' screen is gone). So I'm not happy with that but I think it's the D-Link switches fault and "Jumbo Frames". I think it might be Jumbo related because of this post - http://www.linuxquestions.org/hcl/showproduct.php/product/3425

I'll post again with my results.

Device works great with a standard Fedora 8 install. Speed is on par with most Gigabit Ethernet cards. Connection is very stable.
