My home router runs 11.1-STABLE/i386 using PC-104 form factor system from the year 2007 having AMD Geode processor not capable of 64 bit mode, RAM maxed at 1GB (2x512MB DIMMs), UDMA100 IDE/PATA controller and two 100Mbit vr(4) vlan-capable network interfaces. It can route/nat PPPoE connection at 100M wire speed, performs IPSEC at 33Mbit/s using cryptodev/onboard AES accelerator while acting as WiFi access point same time using multi-AP capable AR5212 ath(4) miniPCI (not miniPCI-E) card. And I love FreeBSD for that. _______________________________________________ svn-src-all@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-all To unsubscribe, send any mail to "svn-src-all-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
