Yes, I know this and it's a pity. You're right, it isn't really useful.

But I also have a Linux Box (RPi 2) with a Gigabit WLAN Interface. It
has a bandwidth about 200 Mbit/s or more, this is a bit higher than the
internal USB NIC (100 Mbit/s). Especially if you stream HD videos, you
could measure this difference. So, I only like to know which gigabit
ethernet USB NIC would work with FreeBSD 11 and the Raspberry Pi?

Thanks again
