M.2 to Quad GbE
On paper, this is a really cool idea: use an M.2 slot and a cable harness to break out into four gigabit ports for a DIY router or a hypervisor with multiple physical NICs. In practice, my unit didn’t work at all, ran extremely hot, and I suspect the poor heatsink contact may have killed it.
