Buying a 10GB Pcie Ethernet Card

if the software is its driver and its issues, you bet. What happened is Intel not keeping up their source library while OS manufacturers change the kernel code. Even in windows. So they cranked out bad drivers with their new product.

But the issue is a hardware defect... Not the driver.

but they are selling it as that brand instead of their own. So it was their decision to do that. Other things are like this. A fine example is the security cameras because there are 20 or so brands but 6 manufacturers and very few brands cross over and some have lowered functionality when they do.

No, they are not. They controllers are sold as te Marvell AQtion now, the Aquantia brand is dead since several years ago. The fact that various hardware manufacturers are too lazy to update their packaging and product information, isn't Marvell's fault.

There's a lot more than 20 brand and six manufacturers, considering I've visited more than six manufacturers of security cameras and seen at least a 100 different brands.

I don't know the history behind that. But 10Gb networking has been around since PCIe 3.0 so it makes me think that a lot of manufacturers sat on 10G so they can promote other hardware. Because a lot of people over manufactured 1Gb back in the Intel slot 2 era.
