Review on ASUS XG C100C Network Adapter Single by Kevin Cole

Windows 10 installation went smoothly. Linux (Ubuntu Server 16.04) was a pain. The only way turned out to be via "insmod atlantic.ko", see below for details. Performance so far (PC to PC connection without a switch) has been flawless. I connect over 150 feet of cable and can transfer four hard drives at full speed with no noticeable bottlenecks. Can only recommend the card!----------------------------------------- -- Ubuntu 16.04 Server installation: 1) clean install of Ubuntu 16.04.2) install build essential package from apt3) download Asus 5.0.0.5 driver for XG-C100C to /home/USER, unzip the file to install the Atlantic1. 5.348 archive. bz2 and then untar it: tar -xvjf /home/USER/Atlantic1.5.348.0.tar.bz24) Change to the new directory /home/USER/Atlantic and run: make , which will create the file 'atlantic .ko” should generate . ) If you have this file (check it!), edit the network interfaces file: sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces and set a static IP address for your card (in this case it occupied the enp1s0 slot, you need to check which slot it is sitting in) something like this:- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -auto enp1s0iface enp1s0 inet static address 10.10.10.20netmask 255.255.255.0- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -5a) for temporary installation run: sudo insmod /home/USER/Atlantic/atlantic.ko (this only lasts until reboot). This should bring the map to life and you can test it. 6) To finish the installation (so the driver persists across reboots), run: sudo nano /etc/rc.local and edit the rc.local file to include insmod. /home/USER/Atlantic/atlantic.ko , under #!/bin/sh -e at the top of the file and over Exit 0 at the bottom like this:- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - #!/bin/sh -e#etcinsmod /home/USER/Atlantic /atlantic.koexit 0 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Nb. In my setup, the computer this Linux server is connected to had a static IP address set to 10.10.10.10/255.255.255.0 and it was connected directly between computers using a regular Cat6 cable. Nb. For the setup above, if you use your Home/USER directory for other items, you can put the Atlantic driver in a different directory than this.
