Recommendation for Gigabit Ethernet on ibex please
 

Have done some googeling for the above without much luck. All I have
found is Realtek seem (I got a couple of RTL-8169 and cant get them
working) to be a bad idea and Broadcom work (not sure which models).

Any advice?
Ben

I have a number of HP Proliant ML-115 boxes with 8.04 on. They were
fitted with an extra Ethernet card. Both the build-in and the extra card
is working fine in 8.04.

carl@cjfhs12:~$ lspci | grep ther
01:08.0 Ethernet controller: D-Link System Inc DGE-528T Gigabit Ethernet
Adapter (rev 10)
06:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5721
Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express (rev 21)
carl@cjfhs12:~$

I can dig up more info if needed.

I have a Broadcom onboard and an Intel PCI card (sorry, don't remember the
name of the card). This is the lspci output:

09:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5755
Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express (rev 02)
0c:05.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82541GI Gigabit Ethernet
Controller

According to the list
http://hardware4linux.info/type/34/
The DGE-528T is green and tested on Ubuntu 7.04.
The BCM5721, which is on the motherboard by me, is also green, but not
tested on Ubuntu.
