Curiosity got the best of me, and I looked it up, these X540-T2 cards are unbelievably cheap on AliExpress. It's sayin' something when even the highly respected Intel driver and chipset teams can't get it working right until the THIRD revision. it would be stupid to get v1 card with 2,5Gbs throughput of 312,5MBs, only to have a limit of 250MBs on v1 PCIe. but if this is your first realtek in your network, you might wanna avoid them and go straight for an intel, as realteks are more picky for ethernet cable quality than non realteks.If you aren't operating it at the full 10gbps mode some of these chips support, pretty much anything with a heatsink will suffice. Intel’s products and software are intended only to be used in applications that do not cause or contribute to adverse impacts on human rights. GbE controller appears to have a design flaw that causes the Ethernet connection to drop at random times for a few seconds. It provides up to a 250% increase in data rate over Gigabit Ethernet and requires no changes to existing cable infrastructure.

I change the IP over console the first time (remove original IP from old nic and assign it to new one).

The network card also supports NBASE-T and additional features including 16K Jumbo Frames, Auto-MDIX and Wake-on-LAN (WoL). Read more about the condition New: A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item in original retail packaging (where packaging is applicable). Durable Metal Shielding: Reduces electromagnetic interferences and improves stability and reliability for every connection. I am also thinking about getting a 10gbe card that is backward compatible so that I can future-proof a little.
