T420 + external PCIe network card?
Posted: Mon May 30, 2022 7:17 pm
Has anyone tried to use an external PCIe network card via the Expresscard slot on a T*20 Thinkpad? I've seen some adapters to do eGPU via the Expresscard slot, along with at least one video on Youtube of it successfully running on a Thinkpad. However, I'd like to know if network cards will also work in these adapters.
I'd like to turn a T420 into a pfSense/OPNsense router. There are single port Expresscard Gigabit NICs available, however, running a quad port NIC, if at all possible, would be beneficial.
