(Un)fortunately a very similar board is available from PCEngines (2D13). Exactly same Geode LX CPU with same companion chip (CS5536), same network interface chips (VIA VT6105M), same Mini-PCI slot. Only bigger hardware difference is 256 MB RAM vs 512 MB. When i have problems with net5501, it almost always ends up debugging with Alix board. Some CF cards, which net5501 rejects work happily in 2D13. Replacing CF card on Alix board is a bit problematic due to case, but OpenWRT setup stays rock solid. I can't say same with Soekris net5501. I have three of them, one works, two of them shows various hangs, reboots etc. Different places, slightly different config, but same OpenWRT image. Some problems are with bad case design. something inside (CPU?) overheats constantly and makes board unstable. I'm not the first person who says this. You can put 1GB SODIMM to Thincan (thin clients with Geode LX), case is without _any_ cooling holes, with VIA Velocity network chip (usually gigabit chips are warmer) at this setup works under load without problems. Year ago i tried here for entire week to play video (raw X data over network) with zero hiccups. -- =<Alvar>= _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list Soekris-tech@lists.soekris.com http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
