Multiple Ethernet ports on the raspberry pi

Former Member
Former Member over 12 years ago

Hi all,

i'm interested in getting an additional Ethernet port hooked up to the raspberry pi.

the project is to create a home server (nas) and router from a raspberry pi, and I don't want wifi.

 

the final box should have both USB ports free for attaching multiple drives, or a drive and a printer(these are externally powered, not to be taken into account powerwise, the Ethernet port is the main issue).

the pi should be powered by an external power supply (although managing to power it from a pc's USB port will be awesome (using the console cable)

 

future upgrades might include replacing the second Ethernet port with an adsl modem or with a 3G modem.

 

i'm have experience with Linux. the electronics is the part I don't remember much.

 

I've searched and can't find an Ethernet add on board. I can't even find a USB Ethernet adapter.

I reckon it's because lack of interest though, and not cause it's not possible.

 

to make a long story short, is it at all possible?

 

thanks

    I have not tried it but definitely would consider this route.  but yes the usb method would work or even just running it through a switch would work as well.

     

    hope this helps
