If a connect an Ethernet shield, would the Linux detect and handle both Ethernet port without headaches?

I would be very surprised if it worked. Linux kernel drivers don't assume an Ethernet will be connected to GPIO ports. The best way to add a second Ethernet port to a pcDuino would be to connect an USB-Ethernet adapter. Those are widely supported. I found this answer at a forum: "Since pcDuino is a linux OS, we didn't provide Arduino style Ethernet library." Here is a link about using USB-Ethernet adapters: http://learn.linksprite.com/pcduino/showcase/pcduino3-as-software-defined-network-platform-with-more-ethernet-ports/

Yes you can connect up to 4 computers from one Ethernet port, Ive never had any problems with it

It is 5 Ethernet port total, but subtract one port for input and the remaining 4 ports for outputs. I hope that answers your question.

Yes. If the cable is terminated correctly at both ends, you can use the Ethernet ports, otherwise you can test using the supplied alligator clips on the signal generator.

Yes. All you need to do is connect the plug link into one off the ethernet ports and simply connect the other plug link from the wall to the computer you are trying too get internet service on. I used this for 9 months for bringing internet to my garage and i never had any problems.

I have just now tried it and I am using 2 ports at the same time with no problem.

Yes. You will need to go through a brief setup to get the ethernet connection working.

That is what I did and it works well. The one you plug the ethernet cable into will send a signal to the other 3.

Yes. (Board revision should be marked on the silkscreen layer) This shield has long pin connectors, so it sits high enough to clear the USB port on the UNO even when fully inserted. Put a piece of electrical tape on top of the USB port if it looks too close. The Ethernet port sits right above the USB port, so just be careful when inserting CAT5 so it doesn't flex the board down to make contact. I/O Pin-outs are pretty much the same for all revisions of UNO. See shieldlist.org to see what pins this shield uses. The top headers make this board easy to stack as well, however other shields going on top will need to have long pins as well.

Yes. I have it working on Windows and Linux (RHEL/OEL.) It will also support Nic Teaming (if your switch will support 802.3ad.) If this helps: I am using this switch NetGear GS724Tv4.

No.If you had two separate Ethernet cables and wanted to use each of them with the same device, but not at the same time, then this would help you.

I wouldn't think so, it likely uses a proprietary encoding over the Ethernet cable and wouldn't get a ip address or obey the other protocols required to function over a network router/switch.

This device isn't a splitter so you cannot use it that way. It is required to have one on each end of the ethernet run. To split an ethernet signal you would need a switch.

I used a standard ethernet cable. Plugging one of these to each end allowed a crossover between two computers. I was creating an in-home LAN.

No it cannot run two devices at the same time . When you plug in a 2nd device it will shut down ethernet to both devices .

It sounds like you could give the un-official FW a try. It seems to support usb to ethernet devices:http://root.unknown.sk/wdtv/wiki/doku.php?id=start

I have not had any problem using multiple ports at the same time doing different tasks.
