Hi Bart, I assume there are quite a few iSCSI boxes without Ethernet interfaces ;-) The box has two Gb Ethernet interfaces that, AFAIK, have hardware acceleration for iSCSI. (If you search the Internet for "Qlogic iSR6140 Universal SAN Connectivity" you may find the whitepaper that shows an image of the connectors of the box) The access to the hardware is resticted, but having the facts that qlogic built the hardware for iSCSI, it's quite possible that they use their own hardware- accelerated iSCSI HBAs. Will the MAC 00:C0:DD:0D:0C:8B uncover the secret?
