That’s too bad. I had a recent bad experience w/ a WiFi card, and I hoped that was a one-off since it was a budget chip. But you and someone else brought up more recent examples, so maybe Intel has lost its NIC crown.
Who should we look to now? I just want a solid NIC on Linux.
Ever since the BE200 debacle I don’t know if I can trust Intel to deliver. Sure, the stuff that’s already out there works but who knows if any of their future stuff will?
At least it’s not Marvell. But, man, can we pay another 17c and get … I guess not Broadcom as they’re waxing seriously dinkish, but who else?
Intel is probably still the gold standard. I’d pay a few bucks more to have something much more reliable.
I guess you’re not familiar with the i225-v and its variants. Intel burned their reputation for good NICs with that fiasco.
