please run lspci -n

and
lspci -vv (paste two lines or ethernet info)
mine:
....
01:00.0 0200: 8086:1516 (rev 01)
01:00.1 0200: 8086:1516 (rev 01)
....
01:00.1 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82580 Gigabit Network Connection (rev 01)
Subsystem: Intel Corporation Ethernet Server Adapter I340-T2


would like to query numerical number of PCI ID

I just bought a couple of the IBM branded i340s from eBay. As far as I can tell they're legit. But it sure is becoming a crap shoot buying anything, even from big name retailers like Amazon.

How difficult would it be to remove the heatsink? Heat gun? I'm up for taking a stab at it!

I would recommend fishing line. And don't pull on the heatsink, twist.

FYI the Winyao (WY350-T4)I have has the following ID: 8086:1521

haha, looks like super faker, PCI ID is belong to Intel i350 PCI ID . I bet mac address is a clone or random hex number. the PCI ID is a clone!!

for example:
in your system, onboard Intel NIC tell the real truth
06:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82574L Gigabit Network Connection
Subsystem: Super Micro Computer Inc Device 10d3

fake one too. this is belong to Intel PCI ID, same as above

when a manufacture needs to sell the product, they have to register their to get unique pci ID

 

[canta]

you can search pci id intel on -> PCI Devices , go to subsystem, go to device ( if available).

this is an example of realtek NIC on foxconn motherboard
02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 07)
Subsystem: Foxconn International, Inc. Device 0dba

If you really want to be "put off" buying anything

Watch this documentary

The Fake Trade - Top Documentary Films

It's pretty bad when a company decides to make a new factory in China..... not only to have their products faked.... but when things are that bad they CLONE a Whole "Real Factory".... often right next door.... to pump out the fakes.



I dont want to eats eggs ever again.

I need some authentic i350-t2, and preferably I need HP branded. Do these look legit to you guys? I get the impression that they dont seem to be faking the rebrands, like HP, dell, lenovo... but I could just be flat wrong about that.

That same seller has many other counterfeit items for sale. It was actually the same seller where my fake i350-T4 came from.

I guess now we need to keep in mind some OEM brands can't be trusted as well unfortunately.

Well thanks for letting me know. It looked pretty good except for the embossing. I was seeing stickers regarding complying to canadian regulations and the HP box and stickers, just didn't seem likely to be a counterfeit re-brand.

sigh.

sorry to run these by you guys. Up until the front page article was posted I didn't realize this was an issue.

Seems to be authentic to me. Even though the images are low resolution, it does seem to have an embossed Delta ethernet transceiver chip. It is used and from a USA seller. And the large inductor has white front on it unlike the counterfeit yellow ones.
