Using USB to Ethernet Adaptor for linux cnc.. was created by Sadmeatball
hello guys
Today I had a problem, suddenly my computer didn't read the ethernet port and I didn't see any lights on the ethernet port on my computer.
so I conclude, my ethernet port is damaged.
the light on the mesa 7i76e's ethernet port is running. and I tried ping 10.10.10.10 from my LAPTOP and as a result, it worked. Mesa 7i76e is not damaged.
So my suspicions about the Ethernet port on my computer are even more certain.
My question is, can I use a USB to Ethernet adapter on my computer to run LinuxCNC?
Is it reliable? or is it a no no?
Thanks in advance for any help

Yes you can use it and yes it might cause issue during use.
I have 3 of those, a very old 10Mb one, a 100Mb one and a USB-C to 1Gb one, by far the best is the old one.
The new 1Gb one is very good until you stick a USB flash drive or keyboard or anything as it also has HDMI and USB-A ports, so using it only for network works OK, with anything else plugged in it does not work reliably.
Again, not advisable, better get a network add on card, they are cheap.

Thanks for the quick reply Tommy,
I decided to disassemble my computer piece by piece and clean it.
the result was that after I assembled it and turned it back on, the light on my computer's ethernet port came back on and I could ping 10.10.10.10...I was very relieved.
It seems like the dust from the last job cutting ACM got sucked into my computer and made my computer a little confused... (luckily it didn't cause blue smoke to come out)
Now I add an additional filter wire to hold back a little dust from entering.
Thank You
