Use the intel one for 100% stability. The netgear ones do work and are cheaper, but for core resources, choose Intel. John N.

RE: [Samba] [OT] Good Gigabit Ethernet Card ...
Some Linux distro's have problems with some of the gig NIC chipsets. The Netgear GA302T will cause a Red Hat (8 in my case) system to halt randomly. However the Netgear GA622T works well and is stable.

Re: [Samba] [OT] Good Gigabit Ethernet Card ...
I'm doing well with the Linksys 32-bit instant gigabit card. .It's cheap -- like $ 70 US -- and based on a National Semiconductor Chip for which drivers are included in at least RedHat 9 and Mandrake 9.2. My only complaint is that the Linux drivers don't seem to support Jumbo Frames (although the card supports them under Windows). Linux support for Jumbo Frames was apparently turned off intentionally in the drivers due to stability problems. I have NOT had good luck with a SysKonnect 9821 64-bit card in a 32-bit slot -- although the card is supposed to be compatible with 32-bit PCI slots. Performance data that I've seen show the card achieving 80 MB+/sec on all Linux systems in a 64-bit slot and using Jumbo Frames. But I get segmentation faults when I'm using my firewire drives at the same time. Could be a motherboard issue and not an issue with the SysKonnect Gigabit card. I had switched to SysKonnect because the company claims to heavily support Linux, and its own Linux drivers support Jumbo Frames. When I put the Linksys card back into my Mandrake 9.2 system, all was well again. Andy Liebman In a message dated 11/28/2003 2:56:26 PM Eastern Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Greetings ...
