    I cancelled the card
    I only found it on Amazon and the postage is six times the price of the card :(
    Now I have no idea what card to buy that is compatible ?

    I am using an TP-Link TG-3468 Rev 2, works perfectly.

    Thanks
    I'll try this card

    Does MorphOS recognize it right away or do I need to set it up or a driver?

    Worked instantly, it was the only card i had so it was very fingers crossed, I had noticed that the chip was supported though so i had high hopes.

    Just make sure it is a Revision 2 card because they changed the chip a few times, the one i linked seems to be that card, you can see the revision on the card and almost make out the RealTek logo.

    I hope I'll be lucky then
