Topic: Suggested NIC

[bpivk]

Hy

I would just like to know what NIC's are you using.

I have two realtec cards and i have a lot of kernel errors and problems so i'll switch one of them. I have a very limited choice of cards so i would really apreciate if you could tell me about some NIC's that don't use realtec chipset and work fine on SME.

Thanks in advance

The intel pro100/1000 are good I use them in a couple of machines they use the eepro100 drivers

I have heard about them but i can't find them in my country.

What about GIGABYTE 10/100/1000 PCI NIC?

Have you tried ebay?

I'm from Slovenia.   And they say that they won't deliver to me.

Have you tried your Realtek cards in different slots ?

[bpivk]

Did that and it worked for a reboot or two and then the problem came back.

what realtek nics are you using?  realtek 8169?  several users have complained about driver & performance issues.  Have you tried 3com, intel or any other major vendor?  I also use realtek nics, realtek 8139s.  I have issues like you stated only when the nics are going bad.

Changed one nic for dlink DGE-528T  and it works like a charm. Had some problems to set it up but it works now.
