 Any other relevant infos on the subj is welcome :-)

Just an warning though, the VIA Rhine-II NIC chipsett drivers on the
Epia for Fbsd is not quite perfect, or the rhine NIC onboard is not 
high quality. If it's put under som high load (full duplex 100 mbit)
you can get an nasty bug in Fbsd with the console msg 
'vr0: Watchdog timeout' and the NIC freezes for some time.

In fact, I'm reading the gnats database now to see if it has been
submitted before and if so whats the status.

adsl pci cards

2003-06-03 Thread Gianmarco Giovannelli
Hi,
I'd like to make an adsl router using an epia mb with an adsl pci card (if 
possible:-).

I have found the sangoma card:
http://www.sangoma.com/adsl.htm
Just a few questions:
1) Will they work here in Europe (Italy) ?
2) What type of software have I to use with it ? I see the card arrive with 
his soft WANPIPE.
May it use the standard BSD commands and programs to use/manage it (like 
mpd/ppp/ipfw and so on ... ) ?

3) Is there any other alternative to this card ?
Also something cheaper if possible :-) In Italy any small adsl router cost 
less than this card ...

Any other relevant infos on the subj is welcome :-)
