i210 NIC, which AFAIK is the only one that supports AVB.

Hello all, Are there any of you here who are using AVB on Linux, especially with a standard Ethernet port? What software or hardware are you using to do this on your Linux machines? I am interested in playing with it and have some AVB speakers to mess with, but I'm not sure if it is even possible yet, especially with a standard laptop Ethernet port. Tell me about your Linux AVB success stories!

Thanks so much for these links Fernando. I've played with the OpenAvnu repo about 2 years ago, but I couldn't get it working as I didn't know what I was doing. I'll try compiling it with the standard Linux network stack and see how far I get. I don't currently have a motu avb interface, but I do have access to an RME Digiface AVB <https://www.rme-usa.com/digiface-avb.html>. I'll look through those repositories, but I figure there's not much I can do with that interface on Linux as of yet. :( What interface do you use to get the 64 channels over usb?

Are there any of you here who are using AVB on Linux
