Shortage of time, too much stuff to do but will be cleaned up and optimized for all operating systems. The net6501 1.40b BIOS with correct mptable checksum (and Hyper-Tread enabled) is at: http://soekris.com/media/software/b6501_140b.bin If problems, current shipping net6501 BIOS at: http://soekris.com/media/software/b6501_140_s.bin Please note that the 1.40b is not a release BIOS and has not been tested very much. But I would love feedback on different operating systems.... Please note that you currently need to use the "download" command in the uManager til update BIOS'es. There also seems to be a minor bug in the uManager "download" command, the board need to be complely powered down betweens two "download"s.
