Review on Rosewill 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet Card, High-Speed Network Adapter, NIC for Computer Systems and Servers, Gigabit RJ45 PCIe Network Card with Power Saving, PCIE 1000M (RC-411v3) by Chris Ledet

Card does not work on Linux

This card does not work with the following kernels: 5.7.0-rc2+ - via git view current Stand: 24 Apr 20205.7.0-rc2+ - with Realtek driver (modified to build with newer kernel) Fedora 31 kernel - sometime before 5.6.6-200, before 5.6.8-200 tcpdump reports packets sent but never be received. With the built-in network card, I have no problem on the same network with the same network card settings. Timeouts are reported with mainline or fedora kernels. No errors are reported with the Realtek driver, but it still doesn't work.
