I had a Yoga once. I even ran Linux in it. Nice laptop but no wired internet so not suitable for Mesa cards.
Even if it had one, the power savings features and very limited ability to tweak the BIOS would render it unsuitable.
If it had a PCMCIA card ( don't think it does) you might be able to install a PMCIA network adapter
 

I have another Yoga running LinuxCNC with a Mesa 7i96s and it's working great. for that one I'm using a Lenovo dock with Ethernet port. That dock connects to the Yoga via I forget what they call it but some sort of Lenovo proprietary connector that was used just prior to USB-C for docking stations.

The good news is that I picked up a different USB-C dock this morning and this one (iCan brand) is much faster than the crappy Amazon dock. Results as shown here...

jeff@SM10:~$ sudo chrt 99 ping -i .001 -q -c 60000 10.10.10.10

PING 10.10.10.10 (10.10.10.10) 56(84) bytes of data.

--- 10.10.10.10 ping statistics ---
60000 packets transmitted, 60000 received, 0% packet loss, time 60001ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.070/0.097/0.629/0.028 ms

So I'm going to keep moving forward until I hit another snag.

Thanks to everyone that responded.

The USB Ethernet adapter is likely the main issue here

Running:

sudo chrt 99 ping -i .001 -q -c 60000 10.10.10.10

in a terminal window will give you an idea of the latency of the hosts Ethernet interface

( The command will run for 1 minute and then print timing statistics )

 

PCW, you are correct.

The adapter appears to be the main cause, see results in the previous post. New adapter is much faster.
