I had a bunch of them, but the drivers were on again off again,
depending on what kernel was being used.  They'd work, then you'd see
long delays before web pages would start to download, and it just
drove me mad.  Ditched them in the end for some Netgear GA311 (Realtek
Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8169 Gigabit Ethernet) cards.  Haven't
looked back since.

That was a while ago now, maybe a year, so I'd be interested to know
how well they work now.  Would be good to know if I could dust them
off and use them again at some point.
