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. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
