The HP nc7170 dual port

[Pierre-Yves Ritschard]

Hi,

I've been desperately looking for syskonnect 9822 dual port cards but it 
seems its sold-out everywhere and syskonnect just told me on the phone 
that they won't produce anymore.


I'm left with Intel based dual port cards and since I have access to 
cheap nc7170 (Intel 82546EB chipset) I was wondering if anybody knew if 
this was supposed to work (i.e: is it just a rebranding of the intel 
equivalent), if anybody has one on a box somewhere i'd be interested to 
know if it is detected and works.


Thanks,
Pierre-Yves
