Hi Roland, the Intel Pro/1000 chip is not outdated at all. Many professional (server) mainboards are using this chip. E.g. look at the www.supermicro.com web page for server mainboards. There are many mainboards that have 2 Intel Gigabit NICs onboard which work fine with rtnet. Also there are PCI or PCIe adapters available from Intel that work fine aswell.
