Using the UHD interface to USRP products should be fine for all GigE networks cards. The following table lists cards that are known to work well with the older USRP2 driver. They will work with the UHD, too.
The following is a chart of the status of Gigabit Ethernet cards and how well they seem to work with the USRP2. Some may require special settings, which should be listed below. Please add information about card you have had success or problems with.
