Recently, my Netgear GS108 network switch kicked it (flashing green
lights of death) -- I browsed around on the net and found a fix: by
replacing the blown capacitors with new ones (35v 1000uF capacitors)
things are up and running.
And: what do you know: I have gigabit speeds again with this card!
What is strange about this, though: is that while this particular card
was NOT reaching gigabit speeds for the past months since I upgraded
to Hardy, all the other machines on the router WERE ... this was the
only outlier. And it didn't matter which port I used. But now: it is
working.
Maybe there is something finicky about the card/diver ... but I am
happy to say it is working ... I suspect maybe one of the capacitors
went first (around the same time I upgraded) ... or, maybe, the newer
version of the driver is more finicky ...
I don't know. But it is working.
