REVIEW BY: tesseract Reviewed Jun 26, 2007
Due to a bug in the hardware of this card it doesn't work with Linux. The card does works at 100mb/s speed but when put to gigabit speeds it gets TX Unit Hang messages. Further information can be found at http://e1000.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Issues . The drivers haven't be able to work around the issue yet, its been over a year. Just as a side note, I don't know the quality of card in windows as I don't run windows.

Has this issue been resolved / will this board now work in 2.6.23, is anyone on this list running these boards successfully?

Justin.


There is the EEPROM flip/script at the bottom -- can anyone confirmed that it fixed their issues if they had problems?

Justin.
