Well, if the cards work in Windows (dunno, couldn't be bothered to try them there ;-) it sure as hell is a driver issue. I found them on a pile of unused hardware and figured they'd be ideal to be used for internal LAN, turns out they aren't. I'll just take them out, then (maybe I'll install them into a Win box and rip the Realteks from it). On another note: does anybody know whether Gigabit Ethernet can be done with cross over cabling or only with switches (which is what I fear to be the case)? If this were the case, I'd seriously consider to get the el cheapo Intel GigE adaptors (less than 60$ now).
