Title: Low performance on Linux
Product review: First I must mention that the package or manual does not say this card supports Linux, but it's using Realtek 8169 chipset which driver 'r8169' is already in kernel 2.4 or 2.6, I downloaded the latest 'r1000' and still couldn't get anything higher than 80Mbps under kernel 2.4.20. Some users reported on newsgroup for this known performance issue on Linux, and one was able to crank it up to 240Mbps running a 3.2GHz AMD system. Since this card is not meant to support Linux and I haven't tried it on Windows I would give it a 2 stars to be fair.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
