I listed that adapter in the subject line to make it easy to identify.
As many of you may know, last Saturday I reported that a lightening strike took out my Eth0 port.
I looked around and on Amazon found an Ethternet to USB3.0 adapter for $11 + shipping. Its make and model is given in the subject line, and here:
Plugable USB 3.0 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter USB3-E1000
from Amazon. It is also USB 2.0 compliant but at that speed it only gives 10/100 Mpbs.
It comes with a minature CD that contains Windows drivers but it is unnecessary because since the Linux 3.9+ kernel they contain a driver for it. All I had to do was plug it in and a wired connected was immediately created and connected. Just in time for my fiber optic connection! Full specs are here.
So, if you need a wired connection to replace a defective Eth0 port, or add such a port, this Plugable is the way to go!
