It's supported and works.  IME it doesn't do well under load, especially
full duplex.  I know of at least one person who had a lot of trouble
getting it to play nicely with other NICs on his home network.  But
that's the kind of performance issue you get at that price.

A problem shared brings the consolation that someone else is now
feeling as miserable as you.
