I am considering setting up my rock 64 as a firewall using IPFire which will require another Ethernet port. There are many usb3 to Ethernet adapters and I am not sure if they are compatible. Here are a couple of options:
https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Portable-Et...t+ethernet
https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-1000...t+ethernet
This brings me to my questions.
1. Has anyone successfully tested using a usb3 gigE adapter on Ayufun's latest Debian release?
2. If yes, is there a specific version that is needed for compatibility purposes?
3. Do we think that either of the ones linked above will work? If not is there an alternate that you would suggest?
Thank you
IP fire is a distro with no support for Rockchip or the RK3328 or Rock64.
The anker is a realtek r8152
Amazon basic is a Asix AX88179/178A
Never heard of Asix but realtek are real common.
But unless you are going to go full developer mode and create your own image for IPFire with all the work Ayufan has done then maybe think about that the Anker might not get used.
