Title: New Gigabit NIC for my SME 7.5.1 suggestions ????
Post by: SuperGrover on January 23, 2012, 09:13:50 PM

Hi all,

my 3Com 3c905B 100BaseTX seems to be holding back the improved speed of my internet connection. Therefore I want to upgrade it to a Gbit PCI Network card.

I looked around, but a lot of current NIC's are equipped with Realteks 8169 chipset, which looks like a bad decision from driver support in the SMEServer kernel.

Any ideas which NIC is a good option for me?

Regards,

SuperGrover

Many Broadcom chipsets work well too.
