Will be very interested in hearing about your results with that gear. Hard drive size is ample, processing power and ram are plenty. I think you are very well geared up! My only comment is that the EEE Box has only on NIC -- so you'll need to use xs-swapnics to get it on eth1. And if/when you add an internet uplink, you can use a usb-ethernet device -- boot with it pluggged and it should get autodetected as eth0. > Do we need a gigabit switch? With 2 APs... no. You'll get 54Mbps x2 as theoretical max, so 100Mbps at the switch is just fine. Of course you need the switch to be a PoE source... cheers, m -- [email protected] [email protected] -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff _______________________________________________ Server-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel
