I guess for a low cost board, I am happy not to have > been given realteks. The Flytech NetPC NC-2 that I use as an interim I just quickly scanned the left column, and saw the "sis0"... NS probably does things a bit better. So far, anything made by SiS that I've used has been a bit quirky. And don't even say that "R" word. :-) My point was that I like Tulips... I'd expect 2x Tulip to cost a little more than 3x SiS (NS now that I actually read dmesg output). If it works and gets the job done, I'm happy. Have you had a chance to test forwarding rate, in both Mbps and fps? Eddy --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Brotsman & Dreger, Inc.
