USB NIC install: Has anyone done this?

jasonSRX
In an earlier post I mentioned having a microATX Gigabyte motherboard, however, it has a single on board NIC. Knowing this I picked up a reasonably cheap USB gigabit ethernet adapter that has Linux drivers (I verified this before purchase). 

Anyway, the drivers support up to kernel version 3.2.x. Has anyone successfully installed a USB based NIC on a PC running UTM 9 and had it work?

I know Linux but I am by no means an expert. I am having issues even mounting a USB drive via the command line but perhaps something can be done via the web interface as well. 

I will continue to search around the forums for information regarding this.

    Jason, In the past, the Astaro-now-Sophos OS has had zero support for USB NICs.  Unless you install Linux and a virtualizing OS and run V9 as a VM, you won't be able to use that NIC.

    Cheers - Bob

    Bob,

    Thanks for the reply. I was hoping that wouldn't be the case. Looks like I will have to turn this box into a FreeNAS system and put together some new hardware. I am going to talk to my senior Linux guy at work and see if we can load those drivers just to test. Should I be successful I will post the information on the forums.
