Intelligent networking features - Auto-negotiation and NBASE-T (2.5G) PHY compatibility. Hardware-based ECC and flow control support data integrity, while multiple power-saving modes enable energy-efficient operation. Extensive system compatibility - Supports Hackintosh, ESXi 6.7 (not compatible with 7.0), PVE, ikuai, Unraid 6.9.2, and OpenWrt. Plug-and-play on most systems; for Linux, TrueNAS/FreeNAS, certain OpenWrt versions, and older ikuai builds, driver installation may be required. High performance - IPCIe PCIe-to-2-port 2.5G Ethernet network adapter with speeds up to 2500 Mbps. Advanced network standard support - Supports IEEE 802.3bz (2.5GBase-T), IEEE 802.3az (Energy-Efficient Ethernet), IEEE 802.3, and IEEE 802.3u, delivering solid device performance with energy efficiency. Use cases - Upgrade a home or small business server, NAS, or virtualization host to 2.5G networking for faster transfers. - Add high-speed NIC capability to a Hackintosh or Linux-based system, or expand OpenWrt-based routing with multi-gig connectivity. - Deploy in energy-conscious environments requiring reliable 2.5G Ethernet and broad OS/platform compatibility.
