Hello listmates,
As some of you may know we have been having a really bad problem with Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8169 cards. See here for details:

So now my question is, what PCI 1 Gbit/s Ethernet adapters should I use under CentOS? If you have had a consistent positive experience with any particular chipset/brand please speak up.
Well, Realcrap is known to be crap everywhere. Ask the OpenBSD guys. ;)
Intel. Broadcom. That's what we use here w/o any issues; however, there are some Intel NICs that are *not* able to handle Jumbo Frames due to an internal design glitch.
HTH,

Thanks.
