Just to cast a differing opinion on this, I've got a bunch of the Realtek 8139 adapters deployed and they have been nothing but dependable for me. Eyeballing my almost empty box lot, I would guess I've got about 23 deployed now. You may very well have a bad NIC or system board, but I don't see how Realtek deserves this slam in light of just one problemed unit. -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/ TriLUG PGP Keyring : http://trilug.org/~chrish/trilug.asc
