About ULANSeN Dual-Port PCIe Gigabit Network Card 1000M PCI Express Ethernet Adapter
Overall Feedback:
90% positive
93% liked its seamless compatibility, but 7% had trouble with driver installation
It is plug and play with no issues on a Wintel machine and now on an old H81 based system running Proxmox, so Linux users should not have any problems.
I used PCIe passthrough to bind the NIC to the VM in Proxmox.
I faced difficulty using it with Linux, but found that enabling the 'igb' module with 'modprobe igb' makes it work on Linux.
I found that the SIIG NIC was not compatible with the SSL console and had to uninstall/reinstall the driver at least once every day.

91% appreciated its rock-solid reliability, though 9% experienced frequent disconnections
The card has a solid heatsink on the chipset, indicating good durability and appears to be well-built.
I faced an issue while using the product due to the placement of the PCIeX1 port on the motherboard. The cables are difficult to remove from the inset case when there is no room below these ports, and the RJ-45 release is on the bottom. I suggest having a thin object handy or trying to put it in another PCIe port.
When using both ports heavily, I noticed that the card gets a little warm to touch, so I should be mindful of the cooling/airflow.
I purchased two Realtek PCIe Dual Port cards and both failed.
93% found it easy to install, while 7% struggled with the process
The card was recognized immediately by our OPNSense installation and its ports were assigned to WAN and LAN automatically.
The internal-networking-card is easy to install and works perfectly on Windows and an old H81 based system running Proxmox, so it should work for Linux users too.
I faced difficulty using it with Linux, but after some research, I found that enabling the module 'igb' with the command 'modprobe igb' made the product work on Linux.
94% praised for its lightning-fast speeds
Our performance has been excellent with very low CPU utilization.
I fixed the settings and stress tested the system to achieve full or near-full Gigabit speed transfers over the ports.
The internal-networking-card works well with VMs running on Proxmox hardware.
