This is a gigabit NIC with USB3 (though it uses USB2 in NetBSD). It works well and might give you some more options on smaller machines like that. Thanks, Swift

Re: slightly OT hardware question
There's also Erlite-3 at a much lower price point. https://blog.netbsd.org/tnf/entry/hands_on_experience_with_edgerouter

I have one (RPi-B+, 700 MHz single core ARM) running NetBSD & being my NTP server, maybe I need to rethink my (limited) knowledge of network devices on these beasties. There have been some posts some months ago indicating that the various RJ45's on a BPi-R1 being wired through the USB controller was giving problems porting NetBSD to that board, is that a correct recollection ? If so, is it still valid ? TIA & have a good one. -- William A. Mahaffey III -- "The M1 Garand is without doubt the finest implement of war ever devised by man." -- Gen. George S. Patton Jr.

My understanding is those don't work so well, & result in slightly 'custom'/weird/whatever practices to accomodate. I did consider it & wound up not liking it :-/. That's why I asked for 2 or more RJ45's, maybe I should have said 'native RJ45 ports', not wired in weird like the BPi-R1 -- William A.

NetBSD networking doesn't work there last I heard I'm running a wifi access point on a Banana Pi using NetBSD (-current, but 7-stable worked too, IIRC). The BPi-R1 (I *think* that's the right full name) has 5 RJ45 ports, 1 GBE wired normally, the other 4 somehow wired through the USB controller. http://www.banana-pi.org/r1.html -- William A.
