Apparently Solaris does support the card, but it can't plumb the card, making it unusable for me. Linux support seems to be sporadic at best. Now I wonder if I can just go the Fast Ethernet route instead.
On a side note, does anyone know if there is a docking solution for the T60 that allows PCI cards? -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of STeve Andre' Sent: Friday, June 29, 2012 15:57 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Thinkpad] Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express/Cardbus card On 06/29/12 18:50, Alex Austin wrote: > The RTL8169 in the GA311 should have fantastic support in any OS I've > tried.

Realtek didn't seem like a real company to me at first, but I've shoveled several hundred gigs of data through them and they seem to be solid. So if your os has drivers for them I'd try that. Offhand, I do not know of any intel cards that would work; thats what prompted my searches. --STeve Andre' _______________________________________________ Thinkpad mailing list [email protected] http://stderr.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/thinkpad _______________________________________________ Thinkpad mailing list [email protected] http://stderr.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/thinkpad
