Title: m.2 a+e ethernet adaptor recommendations
Post by: jimcease on October 04, 2024, 01:37:47 PM
good morning,
I am looking for a good recommendation for an m.2 a+e card to add an ethernet port to a new build.  I am thinking that the intel i225v b3 should be ok but the other option is RTL 8111e/f.  Any recommendations what will work right out of the box.  Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Avoid Realtek.

Realtek is still "not the best" even if you have the realtek plugin loaded?

Realtek is crap.

I should probably track down a couple Intel A+E cards for a VMware lab then, I'll have to look into this. My HP T740 are getting repurposed for some learning.
