Gigabit ethernet vs. ?

Thanks for the good info, pparks and H2S04. Tried to rep you both but my past reps to you are interfering. Apparently I need to spread the love somewhere else first...

check it out, any problems occur if you get a desktop gigabit ethernet card that is a DLINK and your router is a LINKSYS?

No. Thankfully the manufacturers are yet to break TCP/IP with their own proprietary extensions

In other words, you don't need to match brands for ethernet (although it can sometimes be a good idea for wifi).
