3Com 3CR990-TX-97 [Typhoon 168-bit] (rev 02) typhoon Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png 10.3 If connection drops, check for message NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out. In that case, disable TCP segmentation offloading by running ethtool --offload eth0 tso off or adding -K iface tso off to ETHTOOL_OPTIONS in /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth0 . Check with ethtool --show-offload eth0 .

Intel Pro/100+ 82558 Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png 10.2 openSUSE 10.2 show this form my NIC "Intel 82558 10/100 with Wake on LAN"
Intel Pro 1000 MT Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png 10.2
Intel 82573L GbE Controller e1000 Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png
Intel 82566DC e1000e Image:22px-Tick.png 11.0, 11.1 Integrated Intel 10/100/1000 on DX48BT2 motherboard.
NVIDIA CK804 Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png 10.0 This is the NVIDIA NForce 4 integrated NIC. It actually runs as a PCI-Express component.
NVIDIA Nforce 4 integrated gigabit FORCEDETH Image:22px-Tick.png Image:22px-Tick.png 10.2 This is the NVIDIA NForce 4 integrated NIC. It is NOT detected by hot plug. makes use of the FORCEDETH driver. There is a bug in bios that stops the driver loading. You need to add a line into /etc/modprobe.conf "options forcedeth msi=0 msix=0" then in yast specify an external ethernet card
NVIDIA Nforce 4 integrated gigabit FORCEDETH Image:22px-Tick.png 10.2 This is the NVIDIA NForce 4 integrated NIC. It is detected and configured by yast and works until shutdown, but driver does not load on reboot. Add "forcedeth" to the list of modules in the "MODULES_LOADED_ON_BOOT=" line in the /etc/sysconfig/kernel file. Observed on ASUS A8N-VM CSM.
SEDNA PCIE 10/100/1G Ethernet Adapter Agere Systems ET-131x (rev 02),
et131x
Image:22px-Tick.png 11.1 PCI-E x1 Card, the et131x module in kernel-default-extra (supported: no, quality unknown) -- works fine so far (ASUS M3N-H/HDMI, x86_64), but the driver does not support ethtool interface [opensuse-11.1], so e.g. WOL can not be enabled and speed settings have to be passed as kernel module parameter.
Siemens C-010-I 10.0 Just have to install RP-PPPoE.
