Re: [Ltsp-discuss] Compatible Gigabit Ethernet on Linux

2006-12-26 Thread Todd Shoemaker
I have had excellent results with a couple of  Intel e1000 cards.  lspci 
says this about the chipset and such.

Intel Corporation 82541GI/PI Gigabit Ethernet Controller

I'm sure the chipset is different now, as this card is about 4 years 
old, and you would probably want to find a PCI-X card now, but at the 
time these were among the better cards regarding latency, cpu usage, 
etc.  Most of these cards should work out of the box on any distro.

I have also used a Linksys 1064 (not the exact number), but it did not 
have PXE booting built-in, and there were no etherboot drivers at the 
time, so this would not be a good fit for a terminal.  For the server it 
provided good results, but I believe I had to manually add the kernel 
module since it would not autodetect.

 Even if you manage to make them work under Linux, you can end with a card 
 which works only at 100M (like we did with a certain chipset once) and/or 
 with extreme CPU usage and/or with stability issues.

Hi,

the fewest(none) problems i had with Intel 1gbit Desktop Adapter
~30euro/40$ but i guess it is a bit
overkill. Well depends on what you are planing.
The Module for linux is called afair e1000.
