Anyone using gigabit (and actually using the bandwidth

in fedora 11?

I've got PCI as well as PCIE 1x slots available (PCI
only in some systems though).


If Jumbo frames are important to you, choose your hardware carefully, as some Gigabit nics (including some from Intel) cannot handle jumbo frames and some can but not full size i.e. <9k).

Some examples (a bit old bit demonstrates a point).

For example, I recently purchased an Aopen MiniPC MP965-D, and it cannot do Jumbo Frames at all :( these particular devices are _extremely_ Linux unfriendly.
