Hi,
I am looking for dual or quad fast ethernet NICs that work with CentOS. There is no need for high performance so regular fast/pci is ok.
I have very good experiences with Intel PRO/1000 (aka. EtherExpress, if I'm not mistaken) cards in general, both the single NIC and dual NIC models. e1000 or e1000e drivers works flawlessly. I would not expect quad-based cards of the similar type to be any problem either.
This is an extract from one of the firewalls I got, having 2xdual NIC cards:
0a:02.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82546GB Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 03) 0a:02.1 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82546GB Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 03) 0a:03.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82546GB Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 03) 0a:03.1 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82546GB Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 03)
These cards uses the e1000 driver.
kind regards,
David Sommerseth
