Does anyone know how fast of a NIC can be hooked into a USB 3.0 port? Specifically, I'm wondering if there's a 10GbE USB adapter for sale that's Linux compatible (you know that while most are, a few aren't or aren't well supported).
I've got a potential project here, but the machine won't have any free PCIe slots, so I'm wondering if there's a way to hook a 10GbE NIC to a USB 3.0 port and get reasonable speeds? The goal is to have a network with near SATA speeds that PXE boots all workstations (current plan is for eight, but more could be added in the future). Any recommendations are most welcome! I can't use the PCIe slot that will exist on the Motherboard because it will be filled already with a different card. Thanks! --- Dan /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
