I asked AI of course, and it suggested I get a new NIC that uses a different driver. I'm not sure why, but it's AI. You just do what it says and don't question it. The Built-in Ethernet used an "e1000e" driver, while this product uses an "igb" driver. Now I can't say I know for sure why that other adapter was failing, or if the driver has anything to do with it. It was honestly easier to bypass it than troubleshoot it. This new adapter works perfectly so far. 100% stable. Problem solved. Just to clear up any confusion from other reviews. This IS an adapter that uses an Intel I210 chip (Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation I210 Gigabit Network Connection [8086:1533] (rev 03)). As such it is an Intel "based" 3rd party adapter. It is not an official "Intel Network Adapter" in the sense that the entire product is manufactured and marketed by Intel. You can get those if you want to pay 5+ times as much. But when you plug it into your PC, it's an Intel I210 adapter, period. It's not Asmedia, Realtek, etc., though if you're not careful some of the other similar looking variants listed by the seller as alternatives are different chipsets. Description Accuracy: One image on the product page that indicates that you will randomly receive one of two different products: (Old Version) or (New Version). Old version being a larger looking green PCB board with no heat-sink, while every other image in the listing shows a cool looking little black card with a big red anodized heatsink. I'll just say flat out, I think it's deceptive to list one product and hide an image that suggests you might get a substitute, even if it's the same chip, and I think there's better ways for the seller to clear out that old stock. It also makes it impossible to trust reviews because you can't be sure what card they're describing. Fortunately, I got the one I expected to get when I ordered, the one with the red heat-sink, or it was going to get returned. Now...the product itself still gets 5 stars, because it's affordable, functional, *genuine*, and has exhibited exactly ZERO errors since being installed. I hope the seller will clear up ambiguity though. Here's some of the network statistics since I installed it a couple days ago. It's not a stress test, but it's been fairly busy: --- (sudo ethtool -S enp1s0 | grep -Ei 'rx_bytes|tx_bytes|rx_packets|tx_packets|rx_errors|tx_errors|rx_dropped|tx_dropped|rx_crc_errors|rx_missed_errors') rx_packets: 14895029 tx_packets: 20732530 rx_bytes: 9638752735 tx_bytes: 18997563185 rx_crc_errors: 0 rx_missed_errors: 0 rx_errors: 0 tx_errors: 0 tx_dropped: 0 --- Here's it's capabilities and other useful stats: --- 01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation I210 Gigabit Network Connection (rev 03) Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- DisINTx+ Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- SERR- TAbort- SERR-
