Nonetheless, intrigued by your comment, I did a quick ping test between this machine running FBSD-7.0R and another FBSD host on the same subnet/LAN (maybe with a switch or two somewhere in-between them) with the following results: PCMCIA interface: 500 packets transmitted, 500 packets received, 0.0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 0.869/1.351/76.917/4.801 ms USB-ethernet interface: 500 packets transmitted, 500 packets received, 0.0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 0.855/1.339/1.956/0.174 ms This is probably nothing definitive, so I'll just leave it to you to interpret the results and draw your own conclusions :-) Regards, vick On Wed, 8 Jun 2011, Paul G Webster wrote: > Certainly got some free USB but I heard that the issue with USB and network > adapters was not the throughput per say but the added latency; which could be > an issue the link is used mainly for voip. > > > On Wed, 08 Jun 2011 08:43:42 +0100, Vicknesan AYADURAI > wrote: > >> Any free USB ports available?

I was wondering if I could interview someone for the site. All correspondents will be done through email to make it easier on the all of us. These questions will be published on PC Perspective . I would like to thank you for taking the time to answer these questions. I really appreciate the work you do to provide such a great product. The questions I have are as follows: 1. How do you feel hardware support is on your current platform/s and what are your plans for the future? 2. What could be better about hardware support? What do you need from manufacturers? 3. How do you think performance in FreeBSD compares to Linux, Windows or Mac OS X? How could it be better? 4. Do you consider FreeBSD to be a viable gaming platform? If so, why are there so few games? 5. What are your plans for the future of this platform? What is new and up-coming? Again, thank you for your time. I will email this group when the article is posted. Thank you. -- John R Davis Jr
