Hi all,

Anybody know of any good USB-to-ethernet adapters that work with Linux right out of the box?

Thanks.

Probably many, but I personally have used these two heavily on opensuse 9.3 up to current, on couple of special case hylafax servers where the server is a 1u rackmount with no 2nd nic and the only pci slot taken up by a T1 card. Trendnet TU2-ET100 http://www.sureneeds.com/tu2et100.html Linksys USB200M http://www.linksysbycisco.com/US/en/products/USB200M One has been and still is running with the Trendnet as the internet-facing interface in heavy production for about 2 years now. The Linksys ran fine for about a year too before that, but suffered a purely mechanical failure as that particular model has a nifty little fold-up rj45 jack with a very delicate sort of "door" which is actually half of the jack itself, which breaks easily. Obviously meant to be portable, not meant to be a server nic! :) The trendnet one is a decent solid block that doesn't even try to plug directly into usb like a thumb drive and is still in production now. I never had any problem with the network performance or driver detection on either one. They both worked automatically as soon as plugged in and both ran 24/7 without a glitch. I didn't have to do anything to get drivers working or manually load modules etc. I'd say the linksys is good for portable and the trendnet good for server or desk. Both are cheap. -- bkw -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
