Yeah, right... When you find a chip vendor like that, please let me
know.

Free EDA Users Group.
Technically, it's freeedaug.

The ethernet board is stacked on top of the gumstix, which is stacked
on top of the furnace board. The prototype (which is what you see)
has the RJ45 still on the ethernet board. The one that ends up in
"daug" is more properly pronounced "dawg",
which is an American hillbilly way of pronouncing the word. But since
we're Yankees (i.e. Bostonians), we say "dog". :-)

I forgot to ask. Why are the meetings called "freedog" meetings?
It's the Free EDA User's Group => FreeEDAUG => Free Dog.
Acutally, this spelling of "daug" is more properly pronounced "dawg",
