I'm just curious, so I can start avoiding it knowingly, if there are some issues to avoid it :) Well RTL8139's were shit, realtek audio chips are crap, so I just avoid realtek in general since they seem to believe in producing and selling junk in general. It's easy to build a reputation of making bad stuff, while it takes a long time of making quality products to build a good reputation, and it has not been anywhere near long enough for me to trust anything from realtek to even potentially be good. So having never used a realtek gigabit chip, it's all just a matter of lack of trust and bad reputation of the maker. For gigabit I have so far used intel (e1000), marvell (skge), and would probably accept onboard nvidia gigabit too. -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

MSI K8T Neo2-F etch compatible?
Hi, ich would like to know if the motherboard from MSI K8T Neo2-F is supported from etch on a 64-bit machine. This motherboard is not listed here within: https://alioth.debian.org/docman/view.php/30192/27/mainboards.html Thank's for your comments! -- Best Regards, Mark -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
