No Drivers? - OEM?

Great card

None

For all you "Somewhat high understanding" & "High understanding" that complained about intell/newegg not providing drivers with this card and that it wasn't clear in the description if it had drivers - OEM means just that. All your getting is the hardware. If you want all the outdated drivers on a nice CD then pay the extra couple bucks and buy the 'Retail' version. When you rate yourself, it's on the technical understanding of the product, not your intoxication level!! :-)

TOP CRITICAL REVIEW
Ubuntu problems

Works great under low-medium traffic.

Has problems with big (4-7G) file transfers on Ubuntu 8.0.4. Built version 8.0.6 e1000 driver (Aug 2008 release) from Intel site. Crashes when transferring large files from WinXP to Ubuntu Samba share.

$ ethtool -i eth1
driver: e1000
version: 8.0.6-NAPI
firmware-version: N/A
bus-info: 0000:00:0a.0

And from /var/log/messages (154 times) :

I'm sure Intel will get this worked out eventually, but not today!
I bought this to replace some "cheap" PCI gigabit cards, but I guess I'll keep looking.
