[Soekris] Soekris vs. pcengines

2008-04-19 Thread Martin Marcher
Hello, does anyone have comparisons about the soekris 5501 vs. pcengines ALIX2cX The specs are quite the same but I'm wondering if any of you had the opportunity to work with both devices and can give some comparisons (how much traffic, numbers,) I have an ALIX2c2 here with a 4GB CF card

[Soekris] net4826 lockup issue and BIOS release

2008-04-19 Thread Izumi Utakoji
We are facing a problem with net4826-50 boards, running at a customer remote site. Using CRON and WatchDog, we are trying to go into 100% unattended mode, though system occasionally goes into lockup, and requires hard reboot. Looking into ComBIOS changelog, we are considering to upgrade the BIOS,

I bought a Traverse Pulsar ADSL PCI card my my net4801, but never managed to get it working. I emailed Traverse before buying it and the promised FreeBSD and OpenBSD support, whilst some drivers did appear they were very unstable, I had some back and forth with technical support but they never

[Soekris] Ethernet outages/autodetect weirdness on Net4801

2008-04-19 Thread Lars Noodén
I have a Net4801-60 (256MB RAM) with OpenBSD 4.2 that sometimes gets no link with either cross-over or straight-through cables. Sometimes it's enough to simply switch to a different cable of the same type. Other times, even though the cables are good (have used them with these and other devices)

Hi, I'm trying to create some health monitoring scripts on a soekris net5501-70 with sata HD (debian Etch). Everything seems to work well (last reboot was 96 days ago). I just compile a new linux kernel (2.6.23.17) and add pc87366 module to access sensors informations. I got that : # sensors

That sounds like autonegotiation is failing. It could be the other device that's having problems, or just the combination of the two. Hi, I'm sorry, but autonegotiation is a myth. In the real world it is more dangerous than it does good. I ran a managed server hosting company for 9
