Pros & Cons
Pros
Intel 82571eb chip. Has the intel chipset which was what i was going for. Plugged it in - my computer booted - installed driver - setup team and was ready to go. Attached is a screenshot of my hardware specs.

Highlights
Quality
I've had no issues with the card, it works great!
Genuine intel chipset works with the full-blown intel config utility.

Works great straight out of the box.

Installed onto a pc that i turned into a pfsense router.
I needed some nics for a pfsense firewall and trunas build.
I'll likely end up putting the card in a pfsense box instead which is another great use for these.
