    This is known as "selection bias".

    People who have em NICs, and who do not have problems, probably do not report
    regularly that their Intel 10/100/1000 NIC works fine, even though it does, at
    least for them. I've got a dozen or so machines with that hardware, and I
    haven't seen any problems with them.

    If you want to use Fedora instead, go right ahead and do so...
