Hello Lukas:

Do you have the option of using 10 Gbps Ethernet?

It will provide you the equivalent performance on the X300/X310 as the PCIe
interface.

The Intel X710-DA2 network card works very well out-of-the-box with Ubuntu
18.04 and 19.10.

Most people using Linux and GNU Radio with the X300/X310 use Ethernet,
instead of PCIe.
