Its low-cost, it facility, no complaints, no driver disk looked-for with Win7.Not sure why I need more terms, its a very low-cost nic card. - Brent Williams
I purchased this card, not paying any attention to the item description in point thinking I was ordering the TEG-PCITXR not the TEG-PCITXRL. Disparate the Intel and additional gigabit controllers I have recently purchased, this item did not include the full height sort, but instead was fitted only with the low profile sort.Now with having this fastidious card for a link of months, just figuring I would eat it due to my mix, I emailed TrendNET tech support offering to buy the full height sort. Instead they send me the sort no charge, no questions asked.Now with that all said and done, here is my assesment of the card.This card, whether the full height or low profile version, is a basic single port PCI bus based gigabit NIC using the Realtek RTL8169 chipset. Linux (CentOS 6.3 64 bit) sees it right out of the box and configures the correct module lacking a hitch. Once configured the kernel module / card negotiate gigabit speeds no problem. File transfers both large files, and small are at the expected alacrity range.Windows XP requires the driver from the CD be installed, or better yet, the newest driver from TrendNET be installed. Once installed the driver / card negotiate gigabit speeds no problem. File transfers both large files, and small are at the expected alacrity range.Windows 7 installs a Microsoft driver for this card automagically, once your network parameters are set up, equipment get appealing. The card refuses to auto negotiate gigabit alacrity on the Auto setting. Manually setting alacrity / duplex to 1GB / full fixes the issue, until a reboot and you are back everywhere you started. Installing the driver from the built-in TrendNET CD fixes the problem quickly. Not sure why Microsoft includes a buggy driver, but okay, whatever...This is an exceptional upgrade to older PCs that shipped with onboard 10/100 controllers, and allows me to take full financial support of my gigabit network.

We be inflicted with a number of older SFF PC's with the intention of be inflicted with had on-board NIC failures. This adapter fits perfectly and installs lacking a conundrum, at a extremely skilled price top.

This is an alright way to upgrade a PC or replace an onboard nic for a basic PCI interface. Would prefer an Intel but cost wise this is a good deal.

It took a bit of tinkering for it to work for my notebook (Dell 760). After it was all setup, it worked great.

If you are building an internet gateway and you are by Untangle Linux, this card will ensemble your desires. The kernel recognizes it at approximately calculate ago with no driver installation needed. It is only one of two cards planned on their wiki with the intention of will fit in a low profile case. So if with the intention of is what you aspire, this is for you. And you just can't beat the fee. Has been effective flawlessly for a week.

Put this in a FreeBSD firewall. Works great with no issues and It has been running for about a week.

No embellishments, no issues, nicely priced strain name, low profile NIC. Go for it! Lone thing I would urge the manufacturer to change is to get on to it all fit in cooperation low profile and fixed PCI slots.

Took a few reseats and driver installs to get it to work, but it has taken my LAN speeds from 7-8Mb/s to 70-80Mb/s. HD video streams use to be choppy if at all possible, now they are smooth including no latency!

This insatlled fair in WIndows & Pro 32 bit logic. I in detail had to take it out afterwards because the exisitng card was not malfuctioning be fond of I planning so Ican't display how the card will go at a later appointment.
