jbuszkie Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Hello! I'm finally going to probably update to V6.x from V5. Along with that I want to maybe do some link aggregation. I currently just have one network port built in. So I need to get a plugin card to get a second gig port. What are folks using/recommending? My on board uses the r8168 driver. do I need to get another realtek? or can I get an intel? Is teaming helpful if you have gig already? I also just got a nice switch that supports teaming. Thanks, Jim Link to comment
plupien79 Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 If you can find an Intel NIC at a reasonable price I believe that's always the way to go. What are you reasons for wanting another NIC? That may help others to guide you in your search. Link to comment
jbuszkie Posted September 23, 2015 Author Share Posted September 23, 2015 The reason is I want to play with link aggregation (teaming/ bonding) whatever you want to call it. So the two NIC have to play nice together... Hence my question. Link to comment
plupien79 Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 I would definitely recommend a dual port Intel card then. Sorry I missed that in your post. Need MOAR coffee. Link to comment
