We have dozens of 905Cs, Etherboot works fine flashed into the rom. Some of the cheaper "skinny" 905Cs are unflashable, but you can still use the built in firmware via PXE, as described in the howto. http://www.ltsp.org/documentation/pxe.howto.html As with anything, don't buy dozens until you have tested one. If you are buying in bulk and make it clear that nics must be suitable for your specific project, suppliers will normally take them back within 30 days if you have a problem. "Brown box" packs of 10 are should be cheaper than consumer packaged single units; you need no manual or 'doze driver CD. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Two, two, TWO treats in one. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _____________________________________________________________________ Ltsp-discuss mailing list.
