@bug I remember having to tether my pc to my phone with ubuntu because of driver issues... in like 2012

what the heck

@Kit this NIC is nothing but pain, the OEM was acquired shortly after release and it was discontinued and support dropped so now all we got are reverse-engineered drivers that only sorta work sometimes

@Kit the real solution for bug is just to replace the whole mobo because i've been meaning to replace it and the CPU anyway

@Kit i have a mobo but i've been waiting on the CPU because i'm broke and somebody offered me a free one months ago...dunno what happened with that
