CCIE labs using GNS3 and usb to nic AND issues with No ROS vlans ??HELP
Hey guys. I am having issues with my breakout switch and vlan being stripped from my nic.so I have decided to go with the usb to nic but I see unless I get Ubuntu system my vlan dot1q wont work with windows 8 box and GNS3 so I am forced to try the usb to nic but do you guys see any issues with me studying CCIE r/s v5 without having the router on the stick functionality and any other issues you see ? thanks any ideas how to get this fixed ? I GuessI can load Ubuntu on my Toshiba and image my windows and put back when I need it just sucks t hat I hav to go to unbuntu to make it work (well I do need to keep and increase my Linux skills ahhaahaah )

(i had all the trouble too!!!!)
The only reason i used ubuntu was due to it being more efficient, i could have the same setup now with windows if i chose to. Before building this setup i spent a lot of time researching which quad port nic to buy i.e did it support dot1q. My lab is overseas so i cant tell you which nic's they are but they were cheap, if i were you i'd find new nics. ROS? you sound like a ccna
