I'm thinking in terms of a hardware-accelerated USB stack.  I imagine a micro-controller on the USB card running the stack (with flash for updates) and a client on the Amiga side would run pretty darn quickly.

No it wouldn't. Most time is spent for memory copying, and a microcontroller won't help here, in fact it probably would be more of a bottleneck.

Is there a list of compatible usb ethernet thingies out there or will any of them work?  thanks.

Ever considered looking into the manual? ;-)

Also, http://www.platon42.de/poseidon.html will list the supported devices and chipsets.

Hi
I'm in sort of the same situation, after reading the Poseidon guide file, I bought a USB->ethernet adaptor based on Moschip.
There's supposed to be a "moschip.class" in Poseidon (at least it is mentioned in the guide file as "included"). but the class seems to be missing in v4.2 and also in the older Poseidon versions.
Anyone know were I can get a hold of that .class file?

It is supposed to be included in release V4.3, but I didn't have time yet to finish it. You could mail me and ask for the class file.

I can't find a good list of manufacturer/model numbers vs chipsets anywhere.  I have a 3com 3c19250, but can't figure out what chipset is in it, or which one to buy for that matter.

Entering 3c19250 into google quickly reveals that it uses a Kawaski-Chipset, which is not supported by Poseidon.

Poseidon V4.2 supports Pegasus, Davicom, Asix and with V4.3 also MOSChip Ethernet chipsets. The amiga guide of Poseidon contains a list of manufacturers for adapters using these chipsets.
