Review on πŸ”Œ X-MEDIA 1-Port PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet PCIe Network Card - Windows 10 & Linux Compatible [XM-NA3800] by Joe Gilmartin

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Linux Mint Plug and Play

I'm online with Linux Mint! The new ethernet/network card arrived today. Tested with basic yellow CAT-5e. Turn the device back on and it's online. Plug and play, you don't have to do anything. Closed the turret and reconnected the Black CAT-6 which was still running at full speed. I put the card in the lowest PCI-E slot. Hardware: ASUS TUF X470-Plus Gaming. 32GB (16GB x 2) RAM 3000 speed. Ryzen 7 2700. Graphics card - old GeForce GTX 750 Ti (enough until I put my 2080 in this PC. Graphics cards are in short supply now). Update: August 29, 2021 Still works great on Linux Mint. , Kali Linux, Puppy Linux and KDE.
