Ethernet, the wired LAN networking standard, has always been remarkably solid. In much the same way that WiFi has ruled wireless networking since its inception in 1997, Ethernet has always stayed the course, adopting and refining new technologies as required, but never ever diverging from the path. Unfortunately, it now seems that the calm, gradual, standardized updates to Ethernet might finally be coming to a close; there's a crack in the Ethernet monolith, and ironically it's all WiFi's fault.
