They all will work, if you post to the "Unrecognized Card" thread. Smile

So you are saying that I can go out there and buy just about any NIC and it will work after I paste results of LSPCI on that other thread? Even if card has no known linux drivers etc? Id so, then just absolutely cool...

Back in the days of Redhat 6-7, it was possible to buy a NIC that wasn't supported under Linux, but I have not found a single card since then that has not worked right out of the box.
