Flea86: googling suggests gigabit loopback may not be reliable unless the nic can disable crosstalk detection or something

Sigh, OK, I'm giving up on this for now, I'll get back to it when I have some more time in a few months xp

fml why does everything always have to happen at once
<pie_>
i need to apply for a grant by the end of tomorrow, hopefully for around 2000$ but f*** knows what will be up with the details and what VAT and EU imports will do with prices,
<pie_>
is there some standard noob hardware guide i should look for?
<pie_>
my head is a total mess right now but im initially thinking of using this to either buy computer parts or start breaking into hardware
<pie_>
training materials and such are also in scope
<pie_>
i doubt ill be able to pull this off but is worth a shot
<pie_>
ping Flea86 because activity :/
<pie_>
hm. ok ghz scopes are i guess way out of this budget

pie_: Does your laptop have superspeed USB ports? If so, just buy an Ethernet dongle for it. Way cheaper (and easier) than fixing your current adapter methinks. Also, I am in an opposing timezone to you so there will be some delay in replies.
<Flea86>
pie_: As for what scope hw to look for, that depends on what you plan on doing with it. $2,000 might get you a pre-loved 1GHz scope but probably nothing more (and you'll be in for fun if that scope breaks down, ask me how I know).
<Flea86>
pie_: If you're on a budget, you _could_ just get a noob-friendly 100MHz scope, but as hinted by the standards table in that eevblog link above it won't be near enough for all of the fast modern interface standards.
