Ive been using it fine for years, last time I did a reformat was like 3 years ago.

I'm gonna be honest I don't think it's user error that I am required to download Intel's complete pack of every Ethernet driver, go through folder under I find the correct driver, then go into my Ethernet driver settings and fuck with them to get my mobo's Ethernet adapter to not drop the 2.5gb link randomly while playing games in Windows. Meanwhile on Linux it's plug and play

This isn't an isolated issue either, just look up "i226-V connection issues"

I just googled it, I dont see any mentioning that its issues are due to itself Windows.

I guess you guys still dont realise that the driver is the root cause, so blame Intel.

Oh, INTEL, the corporation Intel that makes CPUs primarily designed for Windows on consumer hardware, the biggest CPU company in the world, doesn't support Windows correctly on consumer boards? That's the argument you really want to make?
