Title: 1 Gig Network Cards
Post by: larrym on August 16, 2006, 08:50:07 AM

I purchased a D-Link 530T Rev B1 network card (1 Gigabit) only to discover this is not supported in SME 7.0.

My network card supplier suggests one of the following cards:

US Robotic (USR 997902)

Linksys EG1032 (32-bits)
 
Linksys EG 1064 (64-bits)

My machine is a P III, 500 MHZ.

Does anyone have experience with any of these network cards?  Will any of these work with SME 7.0?

thanks,

Larry

http://www.mikrotik.com/docs/ros/2.8/guide/driverlist Suggests that the realtek RTL8169 may not work well.  Maybe this is fixed?

Are the drivers at .../contrib/intel/ for intel chipsets?

I don't see anything there useful for SME7.

TigerDirect had two cards for about $30, one with Via and one with Realtek, both worked with SME7

The Marvel chip on many motherboards and also the Dlink card has issues without a kernel rebuild
