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 :-) 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 > <vicknesan@bigfoot.com> wrote: > >> Any free USB ports available?
