Re: Ethernet Cards
With Ethernet being a mature technology (i.e. no really big changes in the standard) and CPUs being so powerful the only two ways you can really improve an ethernet chipset any more is by either making it compatible with a different slot/socket (PCIe, USB3), make it use less power use less power (to extend battery life) or redesign it to be cheaper to make.
I've no clue what the difference is between an 8111F or an 8111E actually is, but I'd be willing to bet its down to one or more of the reasons above.
