I'm a newby to openwrt.
I want to use a raspberry pi 3 B (with openwrt-21.02) with a usb fast ethernet adapter (10/100Mbit).
I plan to use the pi as a firewall between to LANs.
Could somebody recommend a usb fast ethernet adapter that works with openwrt-21.02 and is about 10€ ?
If you have a recommendation please mention the device and the necessary driver.
thank you for your answers. @trendy Could you give me a hint which driver I need for the U3METALGLAN (EU) | i-tec USB 3.0 Metal Gigabit Ethernet Adapter.
@tomtom
I hoped no to appear that greedy and asked for a fast ethernet adapter (but fast means slow =10/100MBit and not GBit)
For what it's worth Realtek seems to have better Linux support than Asix, and benchmarks as I've seen show it has better throughput on low-spec systems. If all you're interested in is "Fast" (i.e. 100mbit) ethernet, then it probably doesn't matter all that much. If you go GigE, the USB2 bus will restrict you to a theoretical 480mbps and in practice probably more like half of that.
