As of a few minuts ago, I can verify that there's enough power to really, really run the built-in ports hard even when a lan1741 is installed. I was maxing it out for hours over two built-in ports, ~15,000 packets a second on each port, ~8MiB/s, pretty close to line speed, plus normal (a few packets/sec) ADSL usage on the other two built-in ports. The machine took it happily, even though software interrupt CPU usage often spiked to nearly 100%. This sort of load would have rebooted it within moments if the lan1741 had been participating. -- NULL && (void) _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list Soekris-tech@lists.soekris.com http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
