Vu Duo - Support USB to RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter

[Trial]

Hi,
how do you get the idea that USB has around 50-55MByte/sec. Even the fastest hard drives only make around 35MByte/sec. 480 is a very very theoretical value. I read that Gigablue can make a bit over 20MByte/sec. I do not think that it makes a lot of sense on slower boxes like the Duo.

I Think Gigablue Are Doing Something A Bit Dodgy... The One On The Left Is The Gigablue(£30), The One On The Right Is A Generic One From Hong Kong(£10)...



An Extra £20 For Gigablue Written On It...

So, I Assume This Will Definitely Work With An Enigma2 Box, As I Think The Driver Is Built Into The Linux Kernel Itself And Should Just Work...

£10 To Increase The Speed Of My Duo's Network By Nearly 5 Times...

Okay, I Was Getting My Hopes Up... That's The Signalling Rate Of USB2(480Mb/s)... But It Can Still Achieve 35MB/s Throughput(Theoretically)...

But If What You Say About The Quad Only Achieving 20MB/s Then I've Just Got Myself All Excited For Nothing...

Is There No Chance The Duo Could Get 20MB/s???

That Little Bit Extra Would Mean I Don't Have To Get Another Box...

What About NIC Adapter Teaming Or Bonding??? Is Either Possible With The VIX Image???

Hi,
what you means is I think link aggregation and this is a high end technique which is not so easy to implement.

I've Found This Guide, And I've Found The 'modules.conf' File, But Don't Know Where To Place The ifcfg-bon0, ifcfg-eth0 And ifcfg-eth1 Files...

http://www.linickx.com/61/network-card-teaming-on-linux-how-to

It Says To Place Them In /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/

I've Even Searched For 'ifcfg-eth0' And 'eth0' But Get No Results... Do I Place Them In /etc/modules-load.d/ Or Is There Somewhere Else The Network Configuration Is Stored???

At final What happened with it?

I´m also interested to improve the speed of my vuduo, in lan network.

Anyone compile the drivers or similar?

Thanks mates

bonding needs to be enabled in the kernel

then you should be able to create your bond0

and what about, install the drivers of gigablue ethernet, directly, without NIC?

Is it possible?

Sorry if i tell something horrible, but i don´t have enough knowledge.

The only thing i know, is, i have installed in my vuduo, the latest rtorrent.. and well, it is 24 hours online, but when i pass the files from vuduo to my pc, is a big shit, simple horrible. The speed sucks...

So That´s the reason i ask about.

I ´m looking for another alternative, like raspberry pi, but it isn´t gigabit lan, also rj45+usb, so 2.0, 480 mbps (all theoric..)
