RE: Well supported, reliable NICs for Redhat Linux/Fedora
by Eric Ebert 15 Nov '03

I'm using the NetGear FA311. I have three of them in two boxes both of which are using Fedora Core 1 with 2.6 kernel. I've been using them since RH 7 and I've never had a problem with them.

I hear the Intel 10/100 eepro based cards are good but are a little more costly. What about D-Link, Realtek, Linksys etc for $10-15 cards. I am only looking for 10/100 Mbit cards. Do not even begin to recommend 3com 905 based cards which is the cause of my headaches currently with Fedora :-). Thanks, Dan __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

I've purchased most of them for about $5-$10US, and some were free after promotions and rebates. In the past 3 years, one has died. I didn't have as much luck with Realtek 8139 based cards and have seen 4 die in the past two years. Don't remember the manufacturer however. -- The Digital Hermit Unix and Linux Solutions http://www.digitalhermit.com kwan(a)digitalhermit.com

I try to find the returned/open box cards at my local BigBoxRetailer. I think I've even seen some NICs at Big Lots.
