That's an interesting point I didn't think about.I don't know and I have no gadget to test that.
Actually once I've left the USB Ethernet adapter in a smart phone and forgot to take it out (but I did take the Ethernet cable out). The next day I saw that the phone had used a lot of battery power.I guess the phone kept talking to the adapter and the build in small light.I have one adapter without a light so I can test how much battery that would roughly consume, just out of curiosity.
No problem at all. I can try to measure this with a socket wattmeter I have lying around.
The power implications aren't likely to he a deal breaker, but I do love the idea of operating an application server at approx 7W (that said, the same power envelope is also achievable on certain x86-64 home server platforms now).
Right.Meanwhile the on-board Ethernet port could become more reliable with newer software or some tweaks ?
That's my hope, as mentioned elsewhere I'm still awaiting uboot updates for broader OS support, so I guess I'm fine to hang on to it.
Perhaps I picked this up a little early, though it has been fun to tinker and benchmark with.
