I am using it as the WAN-in adapter on my Pfsense Router, which is expected to be up and serving 24/7, I have had it for a few months so far and no issues at all. Pfsense uses FreeBSD OS, and compatibility with this adapter is great. Highly recommended. Review: Not Made by Intel, But Uses an Intel I210 Chip - I bought this network card because I needed to replace an unreliable built-in network port and wanted to avoid Realtek-based cards. After installing it, Windows correctly recognises the card as using an Intel I210 network chip. The card installs cleanly and operates normally. What buyers should be aware of is that this is not an Intel-branded card. It is a third-party product that uses an Intel chip. That is perfectly normal, but the product listing is not very clear about this distinction, which can be confusing if you are specifically searching for “Intel” hardware. About the MAC address: The network address does not show Intel as the manufacturer because it is assigned by the card maker, not by Intel. This is normal for third-party cards and does not indicate a problem. ## Features - Equipped with original Intel I210 controller chip which supports Intelligent Offloads and make the servers more stable.
