[Soekris] Identify second USB port on 5501

Could someone knowledgeable verify the following bits of information: A. There is a functional second USB port on the 5501 board. B. The USB port is on connector JP8, which has a clearly labeled pin 1, and uses the standard USB pinout (1=Vcc, 2=Data-, 3=Data+, 4=ground). I think question A has

Re: [Soekris] Storage device problem

Hi, I run OpenBSD from CF cards without any problem. CF is the cheap and flexible option. For the price of a single 2.5" HDD you can have 10 or more CF cards lying around, each with its own OS and/or configuration, or as backups. Writing speed is an issue with the cheaper cards, whether that is a

I forgot to mention: no moving parts, no mount trouble, no heat issues, no cables in weird places, no noise, no need for extra fans - CF!;) Bill On Tue, 2008-02-12 at 16:44 +0100, voip crazy wrote: > Dear list, > > I planned to install Debian on the soekris 5501 box but I'm not sure > if install

Re: [Soekris] Console connection

Hi Voipcrazy, that's more or less (or exactly) what the output looks like when baudrates don't match. Did you try the other available speeds? Maybe it's something with hyperterminal, scan the archives for that one. You can of course always try reaching your Soekris boxes from a host running an Ope

[Soekris] Storage device problem

Dear list, I planned to install Debian on the soekris 5501 box but I'm not sure if install it on a CF card or in a SATA 2,5" Hdd drive. Which kind of install will be easier? which one would have less error or patching? How about the life of a CF card compare with the life of a SATA drive? Thanks

[Soekris] NET5501 Power Control

I remember seeing some emails go through the list concerning the ability to cause the card to power down for a few moments. Now, going back to the list, I can't seem to find references to that. Anyone remember the magic code? Also, when I boot NetBSD on my NE5501, all works fine on the first boo

[Soekris] Console connection

Hello all, I just receibe my new soekris 5501 box. This is the first one soekris box I have. I'm trying to conect against the soekris box using a serial cable and from the windows application called "hyperterminal". I get connected, but all in the screen appears is unreadble. Something like that:

[Soekris] ACPI Wake-On-Lan LOM

Besides the "normal" usage of a 5501 like Firewall etc, I am currently testing to use the 5501 as a VDR. So far everything works perfectly but there are three question I like to get at least addressed: 1. ACPI The net5501 does currently not support ACPI. Are there any plans or ideas to get this int
