X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 30 Nov 2009 19:30:12 -0000 Everyone: I'm working on an embedded system which will be using a small Intel Atom motherboard with a single Ethernet port. The problem is, some configurations of the system are going to need two Ethernet ports, and only available ports on the system are a few USB slots and a CF (CompactFlash) socket. FreeBSD has drivers for several types of USB-to-Ethernet converters, but USB is a pretty inefficient way of doing Ethernet. So, I'm interested in finding out if anyone knows of an Ethernet interface which will plug into the CF socket and has drivers for FreeBSD. Please let me know; any help would be MUCH appreciated! --Brett Glass
