Topic: gigabit network cards in 6.0.1

[brianr]

Can someone give me some pointers to gigabit cards which work with 6.0.1?

E.g. does the Dlink 550T work, or perhaps the 3Com PCI Server card?

I have very good luck with anything realtek 8169 based.  I am not sure of any others.  I have been buying some by connect gear for about $30.

I just installed a D-Link DGE-550T (Rev-A2) yesterday in a new SME 6.01 server, which is recognized.

I cannot see the chipset used, because of a passive cooler.

But this card used to abend (=abort) a NetWare server, so I have to stress test the card in the linux environment.

That is good news, perhaps you can let me know if it gives problems?

I have one for almost a year and a half - works fine under sme 6.5

.. of course everyone remembers Darrell May built the drivers for the Intel Gig cards quite a while ago (my d/l is date Jan '04); these have worked great for me over the last year.

Thanks Darrell
