Yes, but we are all geeks here.

I have also used powerline adaptors in the apt, while bloated and slow (200/4mbit is what I get out of mine on the rrul test) - they only exhibit 90ms delay under load. I wish there was a way to get into these to get fq_codel in there, they are conceptually a lot simpler than wifi... but I am only aware of one open source driver for one chipset, and otherwise these little boxes are a mystery. > Luis > Let´s agree to disagree. > > On Mon, Apr 18, 2016 at 9:08 AM, Michael Richardson <[email protected]> > wrote: >> >> Dave Taht <[email protected]> wrote: >> > But it asks a question - if basic wifi-only + compute has fallen so >> > low, is ethernet dead?
