Gigabit ethernet hardware recommendations.

[haplo]

I would Like to set up a private gigabit ethernet between my linux workstation / fileserver and my windows pc but my onboard (Asus nforce2) Marvell gigabit card is not detected by FC3 what inexpensive card is recommended, by anyone here.

I saw a intel card on new egg for $28 The model is PWLA8390MT. It states support for 2.4 kernels has anyone used it.

I install a intel Pro/1000 MT Destop Adapter ( Intel Corp 82540EM gigabit ethernet controller) and it works.

Good luck!

Thanks for your help I ended up getting my onboard Marvell card working. (It helps to have the device enabled via the jumper on the motherboard.)

I purchased a linksys gigabit card from staples ($29.99) for my windows box and set up a private net between the two machines. (linux is a workstation / fileserver) transfers are now at 300 Mb per second.
