Re: Anyone know of a mavell based dual gigE copper card
Hi Johan, I think I am good at this point... SysKonnect is sending some cards out to Brad (I believe they said) and if those get tested soon enough we are going to buy them - otherwise I am going the Intel pro 1000/MT route. There is a lot of pressure to order the box, so thats the plan as it stands now. Thanks to everyone for the help! On Wed, 27 Jul 2005 14:28:25 +0200 Johan P.

Anyone know of a mavell based dual gigE copper card

The SysKonnect stuff was and is sk based (take a minute to guess what sk stands for after all :) ) That was the Linksys EG1032 cards. 32-bit PCI single port cards. rev 2 uses Marvell chipset and rev 3 uses RealTek. It was even more fun fixing support for the cards since Linksys used the same PCI ID code for both cards. Thanks to Daniel Polak who got in contact with the appropriate people from SysKonnect. I will be receiving 3 newer SysKonnect cards for testing and developement sometime very soon. He managed to score some hardware too. I also had some offers from other individuals to purchase hardware. I'm very appreciative of these offers. Of course there is no point to taking these offers when I was able to get hardware from the vendor itself. I will be looking for other stuff in the future. I can always use the help of kind and helpful individuals on this list.
