I ordered a 2nd nic just in case. he he he....
Intel EXPI9301CTBLK Network Adapter 10/100/1000Mbps PCI-Express 1 x RJ45 - Newegg.com
If all I have to spend is $30 to get a host running then so be it.
This one is genuine, so no BS here.
BTW, once I receive and install the new NIC would it be a good idea to disable the integrated on-board NIC in the BIOS?
