Hi,
same here with OpenBSD.
Thanks.

It's 32bit 33mhz pci, it will be faster
Hi
Thanks all. I'll give the Intel 1000 GT a go.

You might give a try to good Eth card, like Intel one, that do a lot
of work (like checksumming) in hardware, while realtek chips often
wait for the processor to do that. In that case, the Geode certainly
won't be powerfull enough...

I think that the CPU of the 5501 is not speed enough to support a GB
adapter.

Hi
I want to use a 5501-70 in its default case as a firewall and
lightweight fileserver (samba) running OpenBSD. I'd like to have have a
gigabit connection to the main network. Does anyone have a
recommendation for a gigabit card that is known to work (and fit in the
case)?
Many thanks
