- An individual explored turning a Nintendo Switch into a network switch, leveraging the dock's USB-A ports and Switchroot's Linux distribution for software.
- After installing Switchroot Ubuntu, a USB Ethernet dongle was identified via lsusb, but initial kernel issues prevented it from appearing in network interfaces.
- Applying an update from Switchroot resolved driver issues, enabling USB Ethernet interfaces to be detected and configured with a network bridge.
- The setup was completed using brctl and ip commands to create a functional network switch, achieving speeds up to 90Mbps in tests.
