Once the warranty is up on the hardware, you can basically do whatever you want with it. So long as the card works with the eepro100 or eepro1000 Linux driver, it will load just fine on an Imagestream router. Some fiber cards fall into that category also ;)
But, regardless of who makes your router it is usually a good idea to buy parts from the manufacturer, or make sure that adding 3rd party stuff doesn't void your warranty. That being said, I believe they are using the Intel Pro/1000 PT server cards in the newer equipment (PCI Express). Those server cards do provide the performance from what I've seen and they average about $115 at various retailers. http://www.intel.com/products/server/adapters/pro1000pt/pro1000pt-overview.h tm On 4/22/10 10:19 PM, "Scott Carullo" <[email protected]> wrote: > It was a standard card, I did the same thing Travis.
