Pros: Very Very Small! Which is a good thing! System recognized this card no problem. Installed the drivers provided and was instantly online!
Haven't tried the gigabit, as I have no use for it at the moment. I don't think there will be any problems, though, when I upgrade my backbone to gigabit.
Cons: None!
Other Thoughts: I had to purchase this because the one on my new Motherboard didn't work and I didn't want to go through the hassle of RMA.

Rating: 4/5Nice little card, lots of tin whiskers
Pros: Small. Low profile and standard brackets included. Tiny. Good MAC/PHY.
Cons: The Marvell chip had lots of tin whiskers and oxidation. I had to touch up the soldering work around the IC. It looked like it had been reworked by hand. One of the drawbacks to RoHS is the lead-free solder often grows tin whiskers. It happens.
Other Thoughts: No reason to stay away from this one at all. Solid card.

Rating: 5/5Works right out of the box
Pros: Works right out of the box. Simple plug and play- drivers automatically downloaded in Windows 7.
Cons: None so far.
Other Thoughts: Bought to replace failed onboard RealTek Ethernet controller (as apparently many others with similar RealTek chipset have). Marvell chipset +1, RealTek chipset 0.

Rating: 4/5Good card for any OS
Pros: Works plug&play on Linux, FreeBSD, Windows, MacOS X. Low profile backet, which I actually use. Inexpensive.
Cons: Not as CPU efficient as Intel GbE.
Other Thoughts: Marvell Yukon 2 chipset is far better than RealTek (no jumbo, terrible CPU eater), but half a step behind Intel in terms of flexibility (like jump packet up to 9000 while Intel does 16k) and CPU utilization. Jumbo packet 9000bytes should be sufficient, however.

Rating: 3/5Working card but does not seems to be new
Pros: Card worked out of box. I did installed the latest driver from Marvell's website. No complains about the functionality and performance of the card so sar.
Cons: The card does not seemed to be new. There is dust on the PCB board, the PCI-E contact seems have been inserted in the slot before. And worst of all the card is not packed using anti-static package in the box.
Other Thoughts: Since the card is working fine and cheap, I am not considering return it. But I will have a second though when purchasing Rosewill product through newegg next time.

Rating: 4/5Great card with one glitch
Pros: - Inexpensive - PCI-e - Comes with low profile bracket, nice touch - works (mostly)
Cons: - Won't matter to most people, but the chipset used in this card (Marvell Yukon 88E8053) while supported by FreeBSD is unstable. Initializes, but will fail under heavy data transfer. Can be tweaked to work (disable MSI) but you likely want a different card. - Since most people won't be using this card with FreeBSD (Freenas) not a biggie.

Rating: 4/5Initial setup looks great
Pros: Cheap. Got in a combo w/Rosewill gigabit switch for 5 bucks more then just buying the card. It was automatically detected in Ubuntu Linux 10.04 and Windows 7 64-bit, both OS's had drivers already available. Included mini bracket would be very helpful if I was going to put this in a smaller case, and the card itself is VERY small.
Cons: Minor beef, the drivers on the Rosewill website (which are just the marvell drivers in a renamed archive) are from back in Sept of '09, latest drivers on the marvelll site are dated 2/15/10.
Other Thoughts: Using this (and the switch) in a fileserver on a mixed 100/1000Mb network, after the built-in NIC died and I couldn't be without the server long enough to RMA the board. Will see how it looks 6 months down the road.
