    If you need fairly high bandwidth on the "USB" Ethernet interface that could be a problem however that statement is based on the older Raspberry Pi model B and may not

    apply to the 2B. I have not seen any test results for this on the 2B so testing (and sharing the results !) would be the only way to know for sure.

    There is a list of tested and compatible USB to Ethernet adaptors available here:

    wow, thanks!  what about to integrate a wifi point acces? maybe we need all built-in on a raspberry pi to optimize the sieze of our prototype... if it works, maybe we need a lot...100 aprox. image

    Hi Joan,

     

    I have used a WiFi on USB bridged with ethernet but by a technological point of view there is not difference using two ethernet ports as well.

     

    You can see the post here: http://www.element14.com/community/community/design-challenges/sci-fi-your-pi/blog/2015/05/08/meditech-creating-a-pi-bridge

    Another option using two ethernet is - without bridging and special differentiated usages - simply as a Round-robin management of the packets to optimise data transfer increasing the available network bandwidth. The point is that you have asked the question in terms of possibility; maybe good to know something more on the usage you plan with these two ethernet connections. As the Raspberry PI raspbian or jessie distributions are just Debian distro, you can also use the dual Raspberry PI ethernet to manage a different network segments routing, creating a - not so fast - reliable firewall and more.

     

    Is possible to have more details on what is the project use you plan?
