Hmm. I've been a network manager for over 20 years, supporting tens of
thousands of staff and students at a university where there's a lot of
gaming activity and I've never heard the term gaming adapter before.
The term could mean many things...
I don't want to get into a long discussion; I
merely wanted to point
out that you're unlikely to find the term "gaming adapter" in Linux
tech docs as they're not written for that audience.
You /might/ not find the term in a Linux tech doc.? But I'd be somewhat
surprised if you didn't. The first eight hits on a google search for
"gaming adapter" are
directly relevant.
The first few hits I get refer to a USB device to connect to a console
to give it WiFi capability. That's not what Charles described, and what
you referred to, which is a network bridge.
