Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] Cheapest way to get a 2nd network connection
I am trying to help someone with a home office. She has a single ethernet
port in this room where she made her office. But she wants to move her
network printer into the room. So we need a second ethernet port. For now, I
loaned her aa 5-port switch. It seems like overkill. I don't like wasting
electricity. What I'd really like is something like a USB dongle that
essentially serves as a hub. Something low power, small.
Any ideas? If it was my own linux machine, I'd put in a 2nd ethernet card
and enable packet forwarding in the kernel. But she wouldn't want me to mess
with that.
