Details
WebmasterTD's card adds an RJ45 jack driven by the LAN9500A USB 2.0-to-Ethernet bridge, which every Linux image supports without drivers, and a spare USB-C port. Boards are sold on Tindie. It suits network engineers who want a console port and wired access without giving up the internal slot to an SDR card.
