Can anyone confirm if the Ethernet ports and "National Semicondutor DP83816" chipset driver allow for:
* Each port operating independently (so eth0 through eth3 on Linux with net5501, then an additional 4 ethernet interfaces eth4 through eth7 if the lan1641 is installed) ? * That the VLAN 801q kernel driver is fully supported on each ethernet interface. This allows for VLAN tagging of packets so the installed OS can act as a multihomed router from a single ethernet interface. Also is the standard Linux kernel driver for these ethernet cards the recommended driver to use ? i.e. it fully support plug-in-plag of the PCI bus allowing for auto-discovery on bootup with the specific hardware design of all soekris products ?
