Hi netguru's

I have a cable-modem MOTOROLA SURFBoard 4200 conected by USB.
Another possibility to connect my cable-modem to the PC is using a Ethernet
card.

My question is the next,

        my connection will be faster using a Ethernet card ?

my theory is that yes, because by Ethernet card linux will can use DMA

Thanks.
