Does anyone know of an OS/2 driver for the RTL8169SC based 1GB network cards that actually runs the card in 1GB full duplex?
We have a client that is considering changing to OS/2 but wants to keep the hardware they have. We have checked their systems and everything is compatible except the RTL8196SC based network cards which they want to keep.

I think all three drivers run full duplex.
OK, I'll bite, which 3 drivers? The one in the rtgnda13 package doesn't unless I'm missing something.

I am sure he is referring to the multimac drivers... there is support for Intel, NVETH, and Realtek. The Realtek drivers are the least mature I think but the 8169 does show support but I don't know if the driver is quite complete, though I think it is close with active development paid for by Mensys.

I use the RTL8169 driver here and it performs flawlessly.
I'm using eCS 2.0.
Here's a grab of the MPTN window;
Thanks everyone. Now I have to find those other drivers ;)

Will this driver work (http://ru2.halfos.ru/guru/ACER.Aspire_One/rtgnda13.zip)? is there a newer one?
Thanks Martin but that was the one we tried. All we could get out of it with the cards they have is half duplex and slow - nothing like what I would expect for a GB network, more like a 100 MB and much slower than our GB network.
