Please CC or direct reply, as I'm not subscribed. And I apologize for the OT nature of this post. I've been through all the Intel docs I can find, to no avail, and got nowhere with Intel support people, who had no idea what I was taking about.
I want to order a PWLA8391GT Pro/1000 GT PCI card for a ~13 year old 440BX based mobo, an Abit BP6. The PCI slots are rev 2.1, 5V only. I find no info saying whether it will or won't work in PCI 2.1 slots, only that PCI 2.3, 2.2 are supported. I followed the card edge pin traces in a photo of this card and all eight 5V pins are connected, so it should work in a 5V slot. I was just burned by a "universal" RTL8169 card that turned out to be 3.3V only and wouldn't power up. I want my ducks in a row before ordering the next GbE NIC, which should be the -last- GbE NIC in this saga. FWIW, I currently have a Pro/100 PCI running in this old board, 8+ years of flawless operation. The box is a 24x7 SOHO/MX server. Thus it doesn't matter if any of the advanced features don't work, such as hot swap, WOL, power management, VLANs, etc. Don't need those. All I need is GbE and basic Linux TCP/IP. If this card won't work in PCI 2.1 5V, can someone recommend an Intel PCI GbE NIC that will? One that is readily available, at the same price point? Again, sorry to bother this list with such a question. I simply haven't been able to find the information anywhere else, and thought someone here may know. Thanks. -- Stan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ How ServiceNow helps IT people transform IT departments: 1.
