Note that I have only seen Linksys EG1032 gigabit adapters sporting RealTek chips, rev.2 is Marvel/SysKonnect (good) and the rev.3 is RealTek (bad/ugly) though they seem to attach after some jedi skills by Brad. How ever, as the man 4 sk page says, there are many other vendors that use the good chipset. The page also details that there is only one known vendor of dual port copper cards with this sk chip lineup. Somewhere in the archives there should be refs. to the syskonnect site (or google for it) as I cant remember the URL, you should be able to buy them from there. -- JPL
