[SWLUG] gigabit ethernet cards for linux

[Glenn Booth]

Hi All,

Can anyone recommend a gigabit ethernet PCI card that has decent linux
driver support on 2.6 kernels?

I've spent most of this evening wrestling with a Realtek 8169 based
PCI card, and I've had no joy. I can compile the module ok, but I keep
getting errors when loading the module - it seems I'm not alone,
judging by the number of Google posts on the subject. I reckon it
might be easiest to get hold of a different card and chuck the Realtek
in a Windows box!

Thanks,

Glenn.
