...I agree with this statement, and I've never seen it even hiccup.  I've
not used it for long periods though.  It holds up well for hours of
high-traffic transfers after a fresh install (i.e. updates and data
restore).

a link from the link I sent before and it suggest that realtek drivers
are in effect for v2 and v3, while v1 is ndiswrapper.  From what Bill said,
his more general experience matches my specific case.
