I have two Insignia USB NICs: models NS-PU98505 (USB 2.0) and NS-PU98635 = (USB 3.0). Both of them work fine on FBSD 12.1. I don't have any older = systems around to test with. I used them for relatively light traffic = although I did flood the network for a couple minutes once and noticed = no issues. Both were found at BestBuy. I only needed USB 2.0, but they = only had one of those so I had to get the USB 3.0 also. Both came up = immediately on plug-in as ue devices. -- Doug
