I'm not really up to date on what the best oem sku's are to pick up a multi-gig capable 10Gb rj45 nic anymore. With the minefield of counterfeit stuff on ebay I'm hesitant to buy anything X550 based on a whim. It also seems like single port x550 nics are pushing $180-$200 which seems like a lot.
I hear mixed things about AQC107 based options, then trendnet has ones with Tehuti Networks chipsets that I know nothing about. I just want something reliable under linux, low power and multigig capable (cat5e in my house manages 5Gb or 10Gb depending on the length of the run, I want flexibility). Wouldn't think that'd be a tall ask anymore but I guess it still kinda is?
