- Speed Column : xx/Yzzz - xx is raw speed test7), Y is [N]FS or [C]IFS mounted fs and fine playback movie zzz resolution
- AX88178 is Gigabit USB Lan adapter and need other ASIX module here supported by driver ( ASIX AX88178, ASIX AX88772, ASIX AX88772A )
- ADM851x some are not working DIGITUS is ADM8513 or ADM8515 and is reported as not working device.
- Other usefull modules for MCS7830 you can find here or check http://tardfree.net/wdtv mirror latest vendor driver ASIX driver 2008
NOTE : It appears that any USB 2.0 network adapter works with or without a hub, but USB 1.1 network adapters are the ones that will not work unless you use an external USB2.0 HUB. I'm speculating that there is a bug in the USB1.1 controller (and when a USB1.1 device is plugged into a USB2.0 hub externally, it's actually controlled by the USB2.0 controller, which works fine)

It's a yucky dongle though: the link drops every time the cable moves the slightest bit.
The issue can be solved with a few Nylon Wire Ties (pictures to come soon…)
