will we see 2.5/5 Gbps ethernet??
 

Seems to me to be a real need for this.
If you're pulling data off an NAS at 1 Gbps, that is lukewarm green disk speed.
But 10 Gbps is pushing **** uphill over old cables.
If 2.5GBASE-T hardware were readily available, I would start upgrading
my rigs.

Aquantia makes a couple of versions of the same chip.
One is intended more for 2.5G/5G, and one also includes 10G.

Aquantia AQC107 chipset $95.20

Uses a PCIe x4 interface.
