Now I have switched to another USB NIC, namely a Startech USB31000S, which should have a AX88179 ASIX chipset. I think it's fair to assume that both the AX88178A and AX88179 ASIX chipsets will have native support for 1000Mbit using the axge driver.
It also appears that the 1000Mbit section was a direct copy from the axe manual entry to the axge entry (without removing the reference to the axe supported AX88178 in the process). If you look at the entry for axe, only the ASIX AX881Mbit support among those chipsets listed: Hi - I think this might be an accidental mistake / oversight in the manual entry for axge. But as I see it, the chipset should be AX88179? But I'm a little bit confused: The manual says "Set 1000Mbps (GigabitĞthernet) operation (AX88178 only)". I think I'll give it a try with one of the ASIX adapters.
Has it something to do with the driver not being loaded? Connecting a network cable doesn't change anything. Yeah, it's strange with the ifconfig command. Jon Theil said in USB gigabit network adapter - or alternatives: I'll appreciate any advice and any similar experiences. The output from ifconfig ue0: ue0: flags=8943 metric In order to use the newest URE driver, I upgraded to the pfSense 2.5.0-DEVELOPMENT branch. The adapter is working as the WAN interface, but it seems to support only 100 Mb/s. To be able to use the adapter, I had to add Buying new (expensive) hardware is not an option at this time, and I don't know what else I should try. From reading other posts here and on FreeBSD Forum, I know this might not be the best solution. In the first place, I have tried to use an USB-C gigabit network adapter with Realtek RTL8153 chipset. The combination of hardware and upstream speed creates a bottleneck, as all Internet traffic has to pass through the same gigabit network adapter. Recently, the Internet connection was upgraded to 1,000 Mb/s. With USB Network Gate for Linux however there is no effort at all in using your USB devices in virtual environment.I have an Intel NUC with the interfaces configured using VLANs and a managed switch. Even though there is a possibility to redirect USB devices from a host operating system to a guest one (virtual environment), the number of the virtual machine’s USB ports is not sufficient in many cases. When you switch to a virtual session on your computer, you can't use your USB devices there even though they are right here, plugged into your computer. Work with USB devices in a virtual session
If needed, a password can be set for a controlled remote access to the device. The computers won't "see" any difference and will treat the device as physically attached.Ī really nice feature is that all "clients" can see who is currently occupying the device, which helps in case someone has forgotten to disconnect from it after they were done using the device.
Now anyone who has USB Network Gate installed on other machines in the office (clients) can connect to and work with this device as if it was attached directly to their computers. Pretty convenient and no special knowledge is needed.
In case you were wondering what server and client parts are, they are all combined in one application, you just choose which one to set up on every computer. This means that no matter how many office workers need to use the same device and how far they are from each other and the device itself, you won't need to invest in more devices - everyone can access and use the device and all of its properties. The technology works over Internet/LAN/WAN types of networks. With USB Network Gate for Linux one can share any USB device on a computer (server) and then access this device from a remote location (client machine) and use it as easily as if this device was plugged into client computer directly. The latest version 4.0 allows working with any USB device even in those "seems impossible" situations when a USB device is oceans away from you. Do you still think that to work with a certain USB device you have to have it physically attached to your computer? In this case you haven't heard of USB Network Gate yet! USB Network Gate is available for different platforms, which includes USB Network Gate for Linux.
