Ethernet

More context

Right now, the Ethernet conversation is split between practical home networking questions (how to add or use wired connections without hassle) and new hardware/technology announcements (2.5GbE/10GbE switches and Fast Ethernet MCU/SBC boards). Powerline/Ethernet-WAN alternatives to full cabling also show up as common workarounds for getting stable connectivity.
