What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
Great performance (full 2gb in a bonded configuration) i have a gigabit lan and iperf3 reports 925mbps which i think is the max theoretical throughput with default tcp settings. Perfect for low profile cpu.
The card comes with standard pci backplate, but also an extra backplate for micro-towers, which is convenient since i might eventually create another router with a small factor computer case. Works on linux and pfsense 2. Works perfectly in opnsense a... Read More
Two single or one teamed nic. Using with teaming and virtual switches. Works with windows 10/server 2019/hyper-v. Makes it so much easier to create multiple virtual network switches in implemting multiple hyper-v virtual servers, and then windows fail... Read More
Cons
For some reason it thinks it's a realtek chipset. Not even the same part numbers or anything. Into the garbage this goes.
Highlights
Quality
Great performance (full 2gb in a bonded configuration)great product.
Debian linux immediately recognized the card and started working with the card right away.
I was having issues with the realtek nic in my pfsense router.
Shipping
And oh, seller was fast shipping the card, and shipping was free, so this makes it an even better choice.
Packaging/appearance
I bought 2 of these for my router and they came in great packaging and all 4 ports get fine throughput!
Competitiveness
It's not a genuine intel card, but it works with pfsense without any issues.
I have all ports configured in a lagg to a switch using lacp and am very happy with it.
While this is an off-brand card, it does have an intel chipset.
Needed a card that was supported with no installation fuss with pfsense or truenas.

The realtek driver on my mobo had messed up so badly that any other card that used a realtek controller would also not work

Keep in mind when looking at the reviews other cards listed in this listing are compatible however i was looking specifically for a dual nic card

Unless vmware decides to add support for the intel 82576 chipset dont expect it work on the latest esxi version

It works okay when there is no vlan involved but as soon as i add vlans the realtek nic drops the connection or slow speed etc
