What NIC to use for what; Intel® I217LM and Realtek® 8111G

Post by Mada » Sun Jan 31, 2016 11:47 am

I have 2 NIC:s, Intel® I217LM and Realtek® 8111G.

Should I use one over the other for a local bridge to my virtual HUB? Does SoftEther lightweight driver work beter with one or the other?

Should I disable SoftEther lightweight driver on the one not used as a local bridge?

Thanks

SoftEther lightweight driver is what it´s name suggest. By try and error, I discovered that it is needed on both NIC. The inside, softether managed side, needs only this driver an none of windows drivers (ip4 etc).
