e here. A shame for soekris, as my 5501-70 is still here, now aging and looking for a substitute. I hope it won't die as well. thanks, matheus -- Nenhum_de_Nos <math...@eternamente.info> ___ Soekris-tech mailing list Soekris-tech@lists.soek

David, I won't laugh at all. I am now leaving both pfsense and soekris and I am building a RPI2 box just to this role. So far, so good. Till next weekend I may have it running as backup router, and soon after the main one. Must be prepared to change my 5501-70. The 6501-70 passed away first

Re: [Soekris] Disappointment with net6501

I have a net6501-70 that suffers from the very same ill. Bought in late 2011, boots whenever feels like. Funny to know my 5501-70, I got before and used from eBay, still runs. Some issues on cf slot, but all in all is fine. I hope pc engines don't have the same thing with their boards.

[Soekris] net6501 issue

much like a battery as to do a "clear cmos" thing. But it is not that easy, and I don't want to make it worse by breaking that thing. What is the lifetime of that battery? thanks, matheus -- Nenhum_de_Nos <math...@eternamente.info>
