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.
