+<WRAP alert>
+**ALERT:** Your NIC could be fake.
+</WRAP>
+Verify it is a proper Intel NIC:
+  * Verify using [[http://verify.yottamark.com/|YottaMark Code]]
+  * Verify using [[https://verifyintel.bradyid.com/|BradyID Code]]
+<WRAP info>
+**NOTE:** After March 2019, some manufactured Retail Adapters started using the BradyID* sticker instead of the YottaMark*.
+As there are many Retail Adapters already manufactured with YottaMark, expect a mix of both BradyID and YottaMark for the foreseeable future.
