This is a summary of reports from IPFire users about the network cards they use. It is very important to learn about network cards that don't work or only work with limitations (eg: only 54 MBit). If you can not find any information about your network card on the wiki, please begin a thread in the appropriate forum.
Note!
This list was restarted with IPFire 2.13 core66. The old version has details for IPFire versions before core66.
