Since the gizmoboard has 2 PCIe links, why not attach a cheap low-profile PCIe network adapter with e1000e? I think this will require building an adaptor, but it's only 8 pins for PCIe x1 data and 4 (I think) for 12V power supply. A low-profile Intel PRO/1000 PCIe adaptor (e1000e) should be around USD10-20 new. -- thomasg -- coreboot mailing list: [email protected] http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
