Through a twisted turn of events, I have ended up with such a card. Before I open the box with the card, can someone tell me how bad the known problems are? Does it run slowly? Does it crash the kernel, even under light load? Does it not report statistics to netstat correctly? At the moment, I just need it for a few file transfers - no heavy abuse. Charles.
