The Niagara 2261 is a universal low profile PCI-X board based on Intel 82546 Dual Gigabit Ethernet controller. Niagara 2261 is designed to operate either in 64-bit or 32-bit mode with the bus speeds up to 133 MHz. The physical form factor for Niagara 2261 meets the requirements of PCI Local Bus specifications Rev2.2 as well as Low profile PCI specifications. Feature Summary - Programmable Close or Open while in the power off state. - Intel s 82546EB controller - Two integrated PHYs for 10/100/1000 Mb/s full- and half-duplex operation - Bypass - during power off or software failures - PCI 2.2 compatible, 32/64-bit, 33/66/133MHz - IEEE 802.3ab, 802.3u, 802.3x compliant - Host offloading options - TCP/IP/UDP checksum, TCP segmentation and advanced packet filtering - Plug and Play - Software support for, Linux 2.2.x and 2.4.x, FreeBSD 4.x and Solaris 7 and 8 running x86-based platforms - Two RJ45 Connectors So, it can do a lot of cool things, but at this point I just wanted to set the box up as an in-line sniffer using this card for tcpdump only and the other built in nic (on the PC) as the management port.
