Summary: Works well with Windows XP, OpenSUSE 10, and Fedora 5
Rating: 4 out of 5 Date: 2006-04-01
This card has worked great for me. I purchased2of them and use a cross-over cable between2computers for quick transfers. Each of these machines has a standard 10/100 for regular network connectivity.

While it's difficult to know if I can realize true 1Gb speed, I know that they definitely transfer files quicker than the 100Mb.

Pros
- They have a price that is hard to beat.
- Easy config/install in Windows. New build of OpenSUSE and Fedora 5 recognized and auto configured the devices
- Much quicker than 100Mb. When connecting to another machine, it seems quicker than the local disk!!

Cons
- None really. It just works!!

Summary: Junk - Zero Stars

I purchased2of these adapters.1was used in a win2003 server and did not work. Instead of listing which OS's this should work with, Linksys lazily says that it works with almost all - That should have been my 1st sign. The other was used in a P2 450 MHz machine, and died2days later. These were to replace2OLD (circa 1996) network cards that used generic Intel drivers, now those alalmost all 10 year old cards are back in their computers and working fine. This is the second time I purchased Linksys items and the second time I am returning them. Being in I.T. and working with hardware over the last 12 years, I find this situation really poor. I will never purchase another Linksys product again.

Summary: Linux support - none

Even though this is supposed to work with Linux, I could not get the driver to compile (errors in the driver code). Linksys will not support this card in any form under Linux. If you need a card that works under Linux and is supported, DO NOT USE THIS CARD.

Summary: Easy Install - Great Performance

Please note that going to Gigabit will not increase your download speeds from the Internet. The speeds you get from the Internet are based on your connection speed to your Cable/DSL modem. Also please note that almost all 10/100 cards are MORE than adequate to handle almost all DSL/Cable speeds. The people out there that have a quicker connection to the Internet usually know a lot about these types of things and can weigh for themselves the pros and cons of moving to Gigabit.

However, if you have a home network that is running on a Gigabit switch/router/hub and have at least1other Gigabit computer sitting on your network, you will see quick transfers of files between those2computers. Transfers of files between Gigabit computers and 10/100 computers will be the same as before. In other words you have to have at least2Gigabit devices on a Gigabit network to see Gigabit speeds between those2computers.

I put this card into my Windows 2000 server and maked a Gigabit network with the Linksys EG008W 8 Port switch. The router I use is also a Linksys, the Wireless-G WRT54G. My primary machine copies files to and from my server at speed about 5-6 times quicker than they used to. Over all network performance does seem to move a bit quicker, however this is likely due to the fact that I have isolated 10/100 machines from the 10/100/1000 machines on the network.

Linksys doesn't always have the best prices, however reliability and performance outweigh price for me any day.

Summary: Slow down. your going to quick

The is a hot little item. I do not even have a gigabyte network and its already dowloading at 1.5 mb and more. I can download more programs at1time. Its like an overclocked network card.
