Anyone care to tell give me a part number/product code/manufacturer? As I'd be intersted in this too... I have used a 4-port Ethernet card in the past - D-Link using the sundance drivers, but while I used them successfully under the 2.4 kernel, I've never been able to use them under 2.6 )-: (And using the kernels 802.1d features, you can turn individual ethernet interfaces into a switch, not as efficient as a switch, but there you go, and it's worked well for me in the past) Gordon > > -Jonathan > > > > Goran Donev wrote: >> I am thinking of building an Asterisk PBX, and had a question on a piece of >> hardware support.
