Wow! I can't believe this postcard was delivered to me!

I have a Linux VPN router server that I use as a gateway computer to my local network. I use Samba and all my computers are PCs. I was struck by lightning and the spike pulled out a card which I added to the computer. I use the built-in Ethernet adapter for WAN. I tried several cards to replace the one that was added. I added drivers to the OS, changed slots, called support for different cards, and all cards appeared, but did not work. I was beginning to think my motherboard had been shattered by the impact. I saw this inexpensive card and thought why don't you try it for $10. I have paid a lot more for other cards hoping they will work to no avail. I want you to know that I hooked up this inexpensive card and bingo, it worked without adding any drivers to my Linux OS. I couldn't believe how great it works! I'm getting file transfer speeds of 135Mbps on my LAN! I liked it so much I ordered 2 more just to have on hand. The card I installed has been running for about 2 months now and no crashes so far. For $10 you can't argue! I highly recommend this card. It saved me from replacing a great motherboard and left me with a hair on my head! :-)
