Protonix Gigabit Doesnnet LAN (Realtek chipset) -- Plug and Play dual profile for LINUX applicable to OLD Windows

Bought a pair of these for use in a DIY firewall server running LINUX ( unTangle). are Gigabit Ethernet network adapters from the RealTek RTL8169/8110 family and support Plug-n-Play technology for LINUX. into a full-height PCI slot each on the Dell Optiplex and on the SFF (Optiplex 755 Small Form Factor) with no problems. The Windows side is limited to pre-VISTA versions. You are advertised with this limitation, welcome. I experimented with the driver CD that came with it to see if it might work for Windows 7 - it doesn't. But I bought them specifically for Linux and expected such a result.

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Out of fashion
