Um, no. While they're a PITA to configure (you need a Windows PC with Adobe Air), Netgear's GS105E are dirt cheap, fanless, 5-Port-1-Gig-VLAN-capable switches. Sales price here in Germany is below 30 EUR including VAT. I heard the 8-port model GS108E is actually easier to configure (Web GUI instead of Adobe-Air-based proprietary tool), but I can't claim personal experience with that, so don't take my word for it, but ask someone who actually configured it. -Stefan _______________________________________________ List mailing list [email protected] https://lists.pfsense.org/mailman/listinfo/list
