It works fine at 100 Mbits/full duplex and works fine, to the extent that one can tell, under Windows 7 x64 and Centos 5. Attempts to force it to gigabit through options in rc.conf fail. The errors look like those reported some years ago for another 745, but I would have guessed that that particular problem no longer existed. I have a workaround (installing an Intel 1000 MT into a PCI slot) so this is not a critical problem. I'm using the 745 to control an HP MSL6000 tape library (2 LTO-3 drives) and amanda from ports and dump are working without problems, thank you very much.
