Hi Adam - the main problem with the realtek chipset under m0n0 (and *BSD I
guess) is that there are so many implementations of the chipset.

If the chipset is poorly implemented, the windows drivers seem to just deal
with it better.  The BSD drivers seem to be less forgiving.

The only real answer is "suck it and see" and make sure you report back to
the list so the rest of us know :)  Make sure the supplier knows what you're
doing so that if it doesn't work you can return for a refund.

Having four NICs would be an advantage over the two and three port wraps and
soekris boards.

Subject: [m0n0wall] Anyone try an axiomtek.com NA-0041 with m0n0wall?


The device is small like a linksys router and the Soekris stuff.

http://www.axiomtek.com/product_detail.php?model_num=NA-0041&majorcat=Networ
k%2BAppliances&subcat=Network%2BAppliances

VIA Eden 400MHZ CPU
64/128M ram
Phoenix award bios
4 Realtek RTL8139c Ethernet
1 compactflash Type II socket
1 RS-232 DB-9
2 x USB 1.1a
Internal RTC with Li Battery
Comes with small case and power supply

I plan to use a 64 meg flash card but this is the first time I have 
looked at m0n0wall.  Anyone have any experience with the axiomtek boards 
and m0n0wall?  If not anyone have any opinions if the hardware is 
supported by m0n0wall?  Any information would be appreciated.  I will be 
getting in an evaluation NA-0041B device within a week or so to test out.
