I haven't experienced any perceivable latency issues with my
USB-ethernet adapter, but then again, my requirements were fairly
general.
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 :-)

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.

Any free USB ports available? There are USB-ethernet adapters available.
Personally, I've used D-Link's "DUB-E100 High Speed USB 2.0 Fast Ethernet
Adapter", which worked out of the box on my 7.0R setup.

Hey all I currently use a laptop as a firewall; an old ibm thinkpad .. it
does pretty well but I will soon have multiple connections to the internet
and the laptop only has one PCMCIA card;
so one onbard + one pcmcia = 2 ports;
I ofc will probably need more as I will have two modems as well as the
existing lan; does anyone know of a '2 port' pcmcia ethernet nic;
or can think up another way around it?
