I purchased a GA311 Netgear 1 gigabit NIC for my Ubuntu server (running
on 2.5 GHz Dell Precision 340). The card performs dismally. I read
online that the card does not do well with Linux.

So my questions are this:
First... is there any software out there to make the card perform?

SECOND... if not, what card would work as a standard PCI card with LINUX
for 1 gigabit NIC?

Thanks
Jeff

Avoid netgear nic's at all cost

Intel pro 1000 is the ultimate choice, but if you cant get a hold of one,
try the broadcom (used in Dell servers)
