Cisco-Linksys by Cisco LNE100TX EtherFast 10/100 LAN Card

Linksys is a leader in networking for good reason. I first got this card because of my new cable internet connection. Even if you are a novice computer user with no experience in computer hardware you can install this card youself! The directions are very good with step by step instructions that are easy to read for anyone. Once you have it installed the driver instructions are also easy to read and offer them for Any operating system you can think of. If you are running windows xp (or thinking of upgrading) you don't even need to install the drivers yourself because they are built into windowsxp and it will install itself making instulation that much easier! They also have a nice webpage that further explains troubleshooting if you get into a problem for some reason! Don't go pay some store 50-100 bucks to install a network card you can do it yourself in 20 mintues for nothing and Linksys makes it possible at a very good price!Also, after having the card installed for over a year it has never gave me any problems whatsoever! I wish i could say that about some other hardware that i have purchased!

I had a CNet network card before and got terrible network performance. Then I decided to switch to these linksys cards, and they worked like a charm. Coupled with the linksys 5 port workgroup switch home networking is a breeze.So why did I give it 4 stars? I wanted to use the Wake-On-Lan feature of the card, since my old CNet had it. But when I got the new linksys card, the WOL was only through a feature called PME (Power Management Event), whereas the CNet (and other cards) provide a WOL cable that connects to the motherboard. The linksys card did not provide for this cable.Also, the card is version 5.1 but keeps appearing as version 4 in Windows XP.

For some reason the ethernet port on my MOBO would not show up, so I purchased this to hard wire my router into my DSL modem. This was done trying to get the MagicJack to work, it did not help. One good thing did happen though, my on-board ethernet port showed up and all's good with that now. THIS BOARD IS DOING AS GOOD AS CAN BE EXPECTED.

This product was super easy to setup. Simply installed and worked perfect. No errors. Fast shipping and was packaged proper for the product. This DOES work for Windows 10Edit: This review was written for another card. I submitted on this accidentally. I will however test it tonight and edit again with a 100% answer to if this works on Windows 10Edit 9-10-16Does Not work on windows 10. Amazon should not start reviews with highest rated as default. Look at most recent. That was my mistake. Not all of know what devices we need and what works with what.

If you don't care about WOL the card works fine. My system requires a 3-pin WOL cable to connect the LAN card to the system board. The LNE100TX item description says it has one, but the card that came (version 5) does not have this type of interface. Check for compatibility before you buy it!! I ended up returning mine.

Just a warning that this card is incompatible with Red Hat 6.2. Of course it is my fault for not checking compatibility before I bought, however, the sticker on the box has a nice picture of a penguin, and says "Tested with Linux!" so Linksys looks good to people jumping on the Linux bandwagon, like me. But isn't it rather lame that this "generic" card isn't compatible with the most popular Linux distribution in N. America? If I had found Red Hat's 6.2 hardware compatibility page, I wouldn't have bought this card:[...]Win Me recognized it with no problems, big whup.

I use it with Linux as eth1 so I can bridge two networks. Instant detection. Plug and go. No problems.

At the time this suit its purpose. No longer use this card
