Ethernet

More context

Right now, Ethernet discussions split between practical home/network troubleshooting (getting link but no internet, gaming connectivity) and physical installation design critiques. There’s also ongoing hardware momentum around new Ethernet capabilities—ranging from 5/10GbE mini PCs and Intel Xeon 6+ networking to a new low-cost Fast Ethernet MCU dev board.
