Where is the hardware compatibility list for Trueimage bootable media?

Thread needs solution

I have been using TI for years and generally it works well, but even the latest 2012 it doesn't support some common network adapters e.g. the
http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4281#sp
which has an Atheros NIC.

I have spent hours on the forums here and there appear to be solutions for building a custom boot CD, they are very complicated... I am a mere hardware/software developer, not a unix expert.

I am going to try to solve this by installing a common NIC, but cannot find a list of which ones TI 2010 or TI 2012 supports.

Would it support this one for example
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Intel-Gigabit-Desktop-Adapter-100Base-TX/dp/B00…

It has to be a PCI EX X1 due to size constrains.

Any tips would be much appreciated.

FYI I am trying to back up (and be able to restore) an image made of a 256GB Crucial SSD (driven via a SATA controller configured as "IDE" - even old WinXP SP2 supports that natively) which contains a FreeBSD boot record and a WinXP installation and a FreeBSD installation, with some FAT32 partitions and some BSD partitions. It appears to work (except for the above NIC issues I cannot restore anything from a network drive because there is no network access) but TI 2012 fails to restore the MBR... and it fails to copy over the MBR even if I use the Disk Clone function with both SSDs installed on the same controller! I will ask on another thread about that.

Welcome,
You'd have to contact support to get an definitive answer on this, but I believe with a high level of confidence that just about any Intel based gigabit network card will work with the Linux boot environment. I have 3 working without issue.

Asus p4p800 Deluxe MB
Asus p8z68 MB

I have also has good luck with Real-Tek based cards.
