Well something else I see is there are no good and easy places to get the Soekris boards in the USA, that I have come across. I did find a company on the west coast Ituner http://www.mini-box.com/site/index.html that caries the Wrap board and looks like they make a nice outdoor box for it. They do not have any Wrap.1c (1/3) boards at this time (4 week back log) but do have the (2/2) types in stock. I have not made my mind up yet but just got word from VIA about their dual nic embedded board. Any one ever try this www.viaembedded.com/product/epia_PD_spec.jsp?motherboardId=241 could M0n0wall run on it? I'll bee willing to try and test if someone can help me get it running. It has alot more I/O than I need and alot more peripherals but also can handle alot more memory and cpu speed :) They say they have the drivers at http://www.viaarena.com/ On that site they also say they are working with Broadcom to standardize a gigabit Ethernet through PCI Express x1 connections with the VIA K8T890 chipset. Any way I have a few extra days to get something going so if anyone can help on this let me know I might get one just to play with. Bryan -----Original Message----- From: C.

Yeah! Hey Soekris! Are you listening? Consider upping the spec of the ethernet cards in the new soekris board to decent gig ethernet cards. -----Original Message----- From: news [mailto:news at sea dot gmane dot org] On Behalf Of Jesse Guardiani Sent: Wednesday, 15 December 2004 1:34 p.m. To: m0n0wall at lists dot m0n0 dot ch Subject: [m0n0wall] Re: Re: to Wrap or to Soekris that is my question?

I bet a decent fxp 828559 chipset with link0 enabled (interrupt mitigation) would perform a lot better. What is the ethernet chipset on the WRAP boards? -- Jesse Guardiani, Systems Administrator WingNET Internet Services, P.O.
