I'm wondering if anyone out there is using the Intel PRO/1000 MT Desktop Adapters ( INTEL PWLA8391MT) nic with suse yet. I want to go to 1 gig for a backbone connection here in house between two different parts in the building.
I don't know that particular model, but all 100 Meg intel cards use e100 and all intel gigabit cards use e1000. I've used both, dead stable, drivers already in all distros easy install (recognised and configured automatically). The only gotcha is that if you get the plain PCI workstation class card it is limited (by the PCI bus) to <250 Meg. For full gigabit performance you need a server class card, PCI-X (wide bus) or similar. michaelj -- Michael James michael.james@csiro.au System Administrator voice: 02 6246 5040 CSIRO Bioinformatics Facility fax: 02 6246 5166
