Recommendations for a 1000TX card?

wesw02

I am looking for a PCI gigabit card that works very well with linux. By very well I mean compile and load the module and you are done. Any recommendations?

I have had good success with an inexpensive USrobotics card.
It is probably the one on the USR website for $24.00, this is the driver I use:
Ethernet controller: U.S. Robotics USR997902 10/100/1000 Mbps PCI Network Card (rev 10)

Anything Intel.

Intel works great for me using the kernel's e1000 driver.

Avoid any gigabit cards with Realtek chipsets (they are cheap and easy to find, but they suck).

It really depends on what you are using it for:
Router/High End Server:
-Intel E1000 (Server edition)
-PCIe

Anything Else:
-Intel E1000
