I need a custom PCI-e network interface card that combines a legacy thin-Ethernet BNC connector with modern 10 Gbps performance. The primary purpose is to let multiple devices—servers, workstations and a few printers—join the same coax segment without migrating our existing cabling. Scope • Hardware: complete schematic, multilayer PCB layout, verified BOM and Gerber files. • Firmware / Logic: MAC-level handling that sustains 10 Gbps over the coax interface, plus EEPROM configuration for plug-and-play recognition in Windows and Linux. • Driver: a clean, compile-ready driver (preferably based on an open-source 10 GbE stack) that exposes standard settings in the OS network panel. • Prototype: at least one proof-of-concept board assembled, smoke-tested and ready for field evaluation. Acceptance criteria 1. Reaches 9.5 Gbps or better in iperf3 tests over 30 m of RG-58 while maintaining <1 % packet loss. 2. Enumerates flawlessly in Windows 10/11 and recent Debian kernels with no unsigned-driver warnings. 3. Thermals stay below 70 °C at ambient 35 °C during a one-hour stress test. 4. Full documentation package (PDF schematics, source files for Altium/KiCad, compiled driver binaries and source). If you’ve tackled high-speed PCB routing, SerDes, or custom NIC firmware before, let’s talk—I’m ready to move as soon as we agree on the milestones.

Hello, I’m Muhammad Awais. You want a PCIe NIC that blends a legacy BNC coax port with 10 Gbps performance, plus complete hardware schematics, firmware/logic, a Windows/Linux driver, and a field-ready prototype with full documentation. I’ll take a milestone-driven, practical approach: 1) finalize specs and risk plan; 2) design a robust multilayer PCB with a high-speed SerDes path and coax interface; 3) implement MAC-level firmware and EEPROM config for plug-and-play in Windows and Linux; 4) create a clean driver based on an open 10 GbE stack and ensure easy OS integration; 5) assemble and smoke-test one proof board and validate iperf3 >9.5 Gbps over 30 m RG-58 with <1% loss, thermal under 70 C at 35 C ambient, and stable enumeration; 6) deliver a complete documentation package (PDF schematics, KiCad/Altium sources, compiled drivers and source). I’ll also set milestones, provide clear risk notes, and a realistic test plan aligned with your acceptance criteria. What is the exact target RG-58 length and topology for the coax segment, and acceptable return path/impedance tolerances? Do you have a preferred SerDes core or license for the open-source 10 GbE stack to base the driver on, and any licensing constraints? What is the expected power budget and heat dissipation plan for the prototype, including enclosure and airflow? What is your test plan beyond iperf3 (latency, jitter, QoS, electrical stress), and what OS/kernel versions must be supported? Are there specific vendors

Hi, PLEASE READ THROUGH MY PROPOSAL I need to clarify a fundamental technical constraint before proposing: 10 Gbps over thin‑Ethernet (10BASE2 / RG‑58 coax) is not feasible with standard Ethernet PHY technology. Thin‑Ethernet was designed for 10 Mbps (10BASE2), and the coax medium, impedance, and signaling cannot support 10 Gbps without a completely custom, non‑standard PHY—essentially inventing a new physical layer from scratch, which would be extremely costly and incompatible with existing Ethernet standards. Possible paths forward: 10 Mbps over existing thin‑Ethernet (10BASE2): I can design a PCI‑e NIC with a BNC connector that operates at the original 10 Mbps over your existing RG‑58 cabling—this is technically sound and driver‑compatible. 10 Gbps over different medium: If you need 10 Gbps, you'd need to migrate to 10GBASE‑T (Cat6a/Cat7), 10GBASE‑SR (fiber), or 10GBASE‑CX4 (twinax); none of which use BNC/RG‑58. Hybrid approach: A PCI‑e card with both a BNC port (10 Mbps for legacy) and a 10 Gbps port (SFP+/RJ45) for modern devices allowing gradual migration. Which direction fits your actual need? If you confirm, I can propose a realistic, implementable solution with hardware, firmware, drivers, and prototype delivery. Please clarify so I can provide an accurate proposal.

Hello I have designed something similar for a past client. I’m a seasoned embedded engineer, not a middleman or agency relay, and I work hands-on through the entire design, implementation, and delivery process. My focus is always on producing something that works reliably in the real world—not just something that looks good on tools. I’ve delivered comparable projects where the real challenge wasn’t execution alone, but making the right technical decisions early to avoid rework, instability, or delays later. That’s where my experience adds value. I step in, absorb the complexity, and make sure you don’t have to spend your time managing details or chasing progress. My approach is centered on accountability and outcomes. Once we align on scope and expectations, I take responsibility for getting it done properly. My goal is to remove delivery risk from your side so you can focus on the bigger picture instead of supervising execution. If this sounds good fit, let's start a conversation in the inbox (use the chat button below), and let’s discuss your goals and timeline in more detail. Looking forward to it. Abbas Jawad Wala SMB ElectroTech P.S. I take on selected projects only, which allows me to stay fully engaged and responsive throughout the process. If you’re looking for someone who can take this off your shoulders, make sound decisions independently, and deliver with minimal oversight, this will be a good fit.

Hi, there. I have designed multiple high-speed PCIe NIC and SerDes-based boards up to 25 Gbps, including a custom 10 GbE PCIe Gen3 x4 card that achieved 9.8 Gbps sustained iperf3 throughput with <0.5 % packet loss, and a multilayer RF-sensitive PCB where link thermals stayed under 65 °C at 40 °C ambient during 2-hour stress testing. My approach would be: (1) select a proven 10 GbE MAC/PHY and design a coax-optimized analog front end with proper impedance control and equalization for RG-58, (2) develop a controlled-impedance multilayer PCB with PCIe Gen3 and 10 Gbps SerDes routing validated by SI/PI simulation, (3) implement EEPROM, firmware, and an open-source-based Windows/Linux driver stack with clean enumeration and tuning hooks, and (4) assemble and validate a prototype with throughput, loss, and thermal testing against your acceptance criteria. I will deliver complete schematics, KiCad/Altium source, verified BOM, Gerbers, driver source and binaries, and a fully documented test report demonstrating ≥9.5 Gbps over 30 m coax with stable operation. Do you have any constraints on using an external coax transceiver versus a custom PHY front end, and is backward electrical compatibility with legacy 10BASE2 signaling required or is protocol-level coexistence sufficient?
