high-speed USB to ethernet interface?

S

silicium

I bought used HP t5540 thin clients with broken onboard network interface.
A Linksys USB100TX replacement suffers from USB1 full-speed bandwidth (aue(4)()). Is there faster supported hardware to look for?
 
FreeBSD seemed to detect my Apple USB Ethernet adapter just fine. Haven't tested it though, but I believe they are USB 2 and 100 megabit. Detected as "axe0" (or similar) from memory.

edit:
Just checked the man page for "axe" and it is indeed USB 2.0.

I was just messing around seeing if my 2007 spec Mac Mini's hardware was all detected by FreeBSD, to maybe use as a low power firewall/router, but I screwed up making it boot and didn't bother any further with it yet.
 
These are all build into the GENERIC kernel:
Code: 
# USB Ethernet, requires miibus
device          aue             # ADMtek USB Ethernet
device          axe             # ASIX Electronics USB Ethernet
device          cdce            # Generic USB over Ethernet
device          cue             # CATC USB Ethernet
device          kue             # Kawasaki LSI USB Ethernet
device          rue             # RealTek RTL8150 USB Ethernet
device          udav            # Davicom DM9601E USB
There are a few others too. You can search man pages with something like [cmd=]man -k usb[/cmd] or [cmd=]apropos usb[/cmd]. See apropos(1).
