This explosive thread proved PCIe passthrough magic: desk chaos with green board central, silver Intel I350 Ethernet card slotted in (heatsink visible), USB-C powered, yellow cable to router, green LED lit—lspci terminal detects "Intel 82580 Gigabit via BCM2712 bridge," ifconfig shows eth2 at 192.168.0.66, Network Manager GUI confirms 1000 Mb/s full duplex, stable pings no drops. Follow-ups tease GPU/HA/LLM next, potential production run for DIY Raspi servers, and wild ideas like routers, TPUs, data acquisition, or Frigate NVRs—community buzzing with @geerlingguy
nods. "If this does numbers... stick around," I said, hyping non-GPU uses like industrial IO. 1Gbps ARM PCIe? Game-changer for SFF.
