You're right, it isn't really useful. But I also have a Linux Box (RPi 2) with a Gigabit WLAN Interface. It has a bandwidth about 200 Mbit/s or more, this is a bit higher than the internal USB NIC (100 Mbit/s). Especially if you stream HD videos, you could measure this difference. So, I only like to know which gigabit ethernet USB NIC would work with FreeBSD 11 and the Raspberry Pi? Thanks again Regards, Reinerhome | help
