James, this is super helpful and, yes, I should have said 8169. Seems like the gizmo ought to work for my needs as well, then, if the ethernet IP is from the rtl8169? I'll give this a try. On Fri, Nov 29, 2013 at 2:40 PM, James Cloos wrote: >> "rm" == ron minnich writes: > > rm> The hudson

I had forgotten PC Engines, that board does look really good. How similiar is the 811e to the previous chips? ron On Fri, Nov 29, 2013 at 1:28 AM, Eugen Leitl wrote: > On Thu, Nov 28, 2013 at 09:58:54PM -0800, ron minnich wrote: >> The hudson chip has an rtl8139? That is surprising. That's a ver

The hudson chip has an rtl8139? That is surprising. That's a very old part. But I'll do some looking. I'm quite unfamiliar with those parts :-) ron On Thu, Nov 28, 2013 at 10:26 AM, James Cloos wrote: >> "rm" == ron minnich writes: > > rm> does it have a pcie slot so I can put an e1000 in i

The Asus F2A85-M has the same NIC (RTL8111, uses the r8169 kernel module). It has only one bug I'm aware of: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55841 On Tue, Nov 26, 2013 at 1:36 PM, Bruce Griffith wrote: > On Mon, Nov 25, 2013 at 3:28 AM, ron minnich

Re: [coreboot] looking for a good, small, low power, portable board

Hi Ron, Is stackability or rack-mount also a plus? Any particular power requirements or limits? I assume you've already looked at standard sizes like mini-ITX; can you clarify what rules that out? Regards, David -- coreboot mailing list: coreboot@coreboot.org http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/li
