I agree with Graeme. I had trouble with all the other brands mentioned above and only since I used RTL8139C these troubles disappeared.

I concur with Amanda - I have deployed tens of these cards over the past 4 years with no failures and never with noticeably bad performance. I've used Intel cards equally reliably where there was some percieved need for better performance but notably without any performance gain. BTW the realtek cards are 10/100 now for the same price bracket. OTOH I've had significant grief from FA310's (under win and nix platforms) and go out of my way to avoid them. -=-=-==-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Graeme Robinson - Graenet consulting www.graenet.com - internet solutions -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==---=-=--=-=-= -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
