Linux drivers

PrikLY_CacTUs · October 8, 2014

Hi guys,

First off, would like to apologise if this is in the wrong section of the forum, or if I'm just being an idiot... But that is partly because I don't know if I'm searching for the right thing.

Basically I want to get a two port gigabit NIC and put it in a system running a version of Debian. But all of the drivers on the website are for other versions of linux, those being redhat and SUSE. I was wondering if I could use these drivers as long as they are for the same kernel version.

Probably irrelevant; the OS is ProxMox VE 3.3

I would just search for a brand that is known to work out of the box. Linux unlike Windows supports quite a bit of hardware right out of the box without the need for drivers.
