I am reposting this e-mail from the server-devel to the general developers list to see if I can find more kernel hackers w/ knowledge of this particular problem.
We want to use the MSI Wind PC for the XS but it has one big problem. It only has 1 on-board NIC and no PCI slots. As you know, the XS requires 2 NIC's. We have tried several different USB NIC's and are having serious throughput problems. Is this issue one w/ the NIC or the fact that it is connected by USB? The no-name brand USB-Ethernet NIC I am using uses the pegasus: v0.6.14 (2006/09/27), Pegasus/Pegasus II USB Ethernet driver The device is: ADMtek ADM8515 "Pegasus II" USB-2.0 Ethernet We also have used a branded Trendnet USB NIC w/ similarly bad results. Please let us know if it is not realistic to use a USB NIC. We really want to use the MSI Wind PC because it has ample storage, Atom process, 4 GB of RAM, and only uses 65W -- Bryan W.
