This card, the Broadcom BCM5751, works on FREENAS 8.3. I repurposed an old AMD dual core PC for a freenas box that only had fast ethernet. I upgraded the onboard fast ethernet with this gigabit ethernet PCI-e NIC.

Also, I upgraded my WIFI router to gigabit ethernet. And finally, bumped up the RAM from 4 to 8 GIGs on my main PC which also has gigabit ethernet built into the motherboard. Everything mentioned here is WIRED Gigabit Ethernet. Wow, what a difference!! This WIRED LAN setup went from laggy and slow to blisteringly fast! I can rip two DVDs at the same time, and still stream Netflix and surf the web without any lag.

Broadcom BCM5751 Netxtreme Gigabit PCI Express Ethernet Network. I had not issues with drivers or compatibility. Also crashes my system. I plugged in the pci express slot and my HP pavillion HPE freezes in booting windows 7, and after. TP-Link 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit PCI Network Adapter/Card, Includes.

LAN_Speed Test: Before, with fast ethernet, 80 Mb/s; Now, with Gbe, 500 Mb/s. Highly Recommended!!! Not a big deal, but, use an ethernet cable with a jack head that does NOT have a BIG plastic grip. I tried to force a jack like that into the plugin port and it was not pretty.

I had to switch out cables before I found a jack with a grip small enough that would click ALL THE WAY into the plugin port. I don't know why they do that, cause those grips are more trouble than necessary. Also, I had to force the PCI-e bracket down a bit before the cable would snap into place. It was kinda frustrating. Knock off one star.

I have spent a lot of my time building systems, as an enthusiast. My home network has an HP gigabit wire speed switch, so I can tell when a card is slow. This card is not slow. The Broadcom chipset offloads a lot of work from the CPU, reducing both CPU load and latency responding to packets, which is critical for good gigabit performance.

Using a Broadcom in a decent machine, you should be able to hit over 100MB/s bandwidth, if your disk can do it, with very low CPU usage. These days, if there isn't a Broadcom chipset in the computer, I add a card like this as a matter of course.

I don't mind the fact that the card doesn't come with software as indicated. I'm an IT guy, so I'm more than capable of installing NIC drivers.

First of all, it wouldn't boot if left the CAT5 cable plugged into this card when I was first installing it. I found the Broadcom website and installed the correct driver, but this was after spending 20 minutes finessing this card to make Windows load. I installed the card and driver appropriate for Windows 7 32 bit, but my user told me it froze on him twice in the 30 minutes I left him. I took it out, and everything is fine. Don't go cheap. This card is cheap in both ways. It's cost me more to buy this, mess around with trying to get it to work, and it's not even worth paying shipping to get it back to get a refund.

If you're looking for a cheap NIC, get one locally for $30-$40 so you have a physical door to knock on.or you risk it like I did. It comes with the territory.

Buy at your own risk. Purchased the card as an alternative to the on-board 10/100 network adapter on my desktop. Installation was straight-forward, shut down the PC, install the card and booted. Beyond compare 4 serial key. Went into my bios and disabled the on-board adapter, then rebooted.

After Windows 7 installed the default drivers ( didn't need the ones from Broadcom, which are here: [.] ) the system reported a 1 Gps connection. Data rate transfer between PC and file servers average 65-75MB/s, on par for what is expected on a gigabit connection. My card came in a clear blister pack with the optional low-profile bracket included.
