In the tread about board for openbsd router I strengthened desire to use alix. Existing arm single boards very intresting, but with it I have more questions than answers. My experiense and skils not enough for solutions existing problems.
Anyway threads about armv7 interest me.

Can anyone answer for lamers like me - is the drivers for i386 or amb64 is depends from architecture and use it on arm need porting? Or just nedd to compil kernel with needed drivers? Short question is - device drivers at all, or just for example usb ethernet is crossplatform?

Hi Alexey,
i asked myself same question.
As i read http://www.openbsd.org/armv7.html -> Planned Projects "Support
for USB on BeagleBoard and BeagleBone models."
Seems there isn't any usb-support yet. Netherless i bought a LevelOne
USB-0401 (axe AX88178) usb-ethernet card for upcoming support. I also found
a dmesg where usb-controller seems recognized.
I want to replace my home router with this solution, therefore two nics are
needed.
I`m going to make a try today afternoon.
