(List) Compatible USB-Ethernet devices

[gehaxelt]

Hi RPI-Community,

I got my raspberry PI today and I'm still playing around with it.

I thought of using a RPI as a router, so I'll be able to block some traffic with the iptables.

Someone proofed, that it is possible: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-_J2po3i0U

My question is, which USB-Ethernet-Adapters are natively supported by Raspbian ?

I found this device on amazon, which seems to be compatible with linux:

Offtopic:
The RAM upgrade with the newer firmware worked well, but the files in /boot in the repository should be served as a zip-archiv for easier download.

Thanks!

I think I'll take this one:

hi pksato,

Can you confirm the dm9601 adapter worked sending traffic?

I tried this adapter on my RPi and sure it connected & configured ok but as soon as I passed any load through it the RPi would freeze within seconds.

I'm also trying to find a working 2nd adapter but the dm9601 is unusable for me.

[rob+pi]

The DM9601 adaptor will work with the Pi but only after the patch has been applied
https://github.com/kmtaylor/rpi_patches ... -bug.patch
I could not find anyone blogging about it or how to install the fix.

So after getting it to work I have written up my exploits

I was having issues with extremely slow ethernet using a Kontron DM9601, that were only solved by removing the ethernet over usb configuration (the dtoverlay=dwc2 in config.txt, etc). I activated that functionality to configure the pi, then forgot to disable it.

It's still a pretty slow interface, as it's USB1.1.
