Well good news and bad. The good is I just put in an 8139 PCI card and it works great, the bad news is the x5000 only has two PCI slots and I have to pull my SATA-II controller out of one to put this in. I really want my 8169 PCIe card working.
Aaron over at Amiga on the Lake is awesome and said he will get one out to me as a replacement. At least I can get online and stay online for now. I just had to pull out my 4000T network card to do it off the mediator!
Welcome to the voodoo of the PCI and PCI-e cards of the X5K.
Hit and miss it seems for ethernet and sound cards.
