## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this be used even on and and pc?**
A: Yes it will fit any desktop pc that can accept PCI expansion cards. It will not work with laptops.

**Q: can i download the software online**
A: Most Windows os have driver built in and don’t need to be downloaded. Never tried downloading as it work o Windows Server 2016 straight away out of the box. As it uses a well known intel chipset it may work under Linux in the same way.

**Q: Can this adapter be used for nic teaming on windows 10?**
A: On the INTEL official website, ther's no dependence driven for 82576 network card working on windows 10, so maybe many  functions won't work well. It's better to use it on other windows version, and the 22/23 driven versionis is the most appropriate.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works very well with Linux distributions
*by T***E on 17 October 2018*

This is now installed in a HP Elite 8300 to act as a gateway/router between two networks and the Internet (1Gbit/FTTP)The operating system is Linux Centos 7.After installing the card, both NIC's were detected by Centos 7 and do not need any additional drivers to work. To check out performance, both Ethernet ports on the card were simultaneously hit with 1Gbit/s data transfers through the system across to the other network, the file transfers ran at the full capacity of the 1Gbit capability of both the NIC and the Switch (layer 3 smart switch) they are connected into. The system is now running 24x7

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent straight our of the box.
*by M***Y on 22 October 2024*

The media could not be loaded. Bought this as a last ditch attempt to sort out my full fibre speeds via ethernet Cat7 cable into my pc. Prior to this, via my Realtek PCIe network card, I could only manage 95Mps download speed, when my actual paid service is for 300Mps. Gaming was becoming an issue with latency, and when installing off Steam, the best I could hope for was 11Mps.Saw this card on Amazon - with help from asking Chat GPT as to what recommendations I should be looking at as a replacement - and it arrived this morning.Fitting was a breeze - it came with two brackets, one for laptop and one for PC. It was a simple matter off one card out, the Intel card in, power up, and bingo! Connected immediately without requiring any software driver download. On my speed test, as you can see, it hits 310Mps quite happily.No more download issues, thanks to this network card by Intel. A word of caution regarding fitting - make sure you remove the power cable from your machine, once that is done, press the power button on your pc a couple of times. This ensures any residual current left in the pc is spent, so no nasty little shocks. Earthing yourself during the fitting process is also another good idea - just in case.In short, an excellent purchase that has solved a niggly issue that even my ISP tech support didn't suggest. Highly recommended.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pfsense Ok
*by M***N on 4 September 2023*

I bought this for my pfsense. So far, it works. I insert this to my old pc. Pfsense recognizes it. Well packaged. I paired it with a managed switch. No problem setting up VLan.
