Soekris makes some great low-power hardware and the new net5501 should handle close to wire speed on a 100 mbps connection. If you need more than that you could look at some mini itx hardware. For more on this topic you can look at the monowall handbook<http://doc.m0n0.ch/handbook-single/>sections 1.4.2 and 2.5 as well as the Hardware section of the monowall forum<http://forum.m0n0.ch>. If you have any more specific questions after that I'm sure the list would be happy to help. db ----- Original Message ----- > *From:* David Burgess <apt dot get at gmail dot com> > *To:* Ron Carter <wcarterjr at earthlink dot net> > *Sent:* Sunday, July 01, 2007 2:21 AM > *Subject:* Re: [m0n0wall] Dead m0n0Wall, HELP > > > On 6/30/07, Ron Carter <wcarterjr at earthlink dot net> wrote: > > > > Additional information: After starting to pull my m0n0wall box apart I > > found 2 dead ethernet adapters.
