      @stephenw10 Do you know a better option with two 1Gb ports connected in a mini pci express port for 50€ ?
      I didn't find a better option.

          @fireodo Yes, can be. But i prefer the other one because i will use the board in a notebook and the other one has a cable to outside the notebook.
          And needs to be mini pcie otherwise i will need an adapter.

                      Mmm, you can get Intel mPCIe boards but not <50€.

                      You might consider just not using an old notebook at all. They often seem like a good idea but they are not engineered to be always on.
