I have 3 of these nic's running here at home and I also have a 10/100 4-port hub from Netgear. It was so simple to install. I tried another brand  nic first and could not get my computer to boot up on them. I took them  back and got Netgear FA-310TX. Plugged them in and it worked the first  time. I don't know about you, but I hate "hard to install  hardware" A great buy at Amazon... !  I need one more so I am buying  it here. Thank's Amazon
