When I had stability problems with my net5501 I solved them by no longer using the first two ethernet ports. I now only use eth2 and eth3 and the box is rock solid. http://lists.soekris.com/pipermail/soekris-tech/2010-December/016953.html As you can see I reported this problem solved in December 2010 (by no longer using the first two Ethernet ports). I've not looked back since; I could test again if anyone's interested. I have an Atheros (ath9k) wireless card: 00:11.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR922X Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01) Subsystem: Atheros Communications Inc. Device 2096 Flags: bus master, 66MHz, medium devsel, latency 168, IRQ 15 Memory at a0010000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K] Capabilities: [44] Power Management version 2 Kernel driver in use: ath9k Kernel modules: ath9k Currently using kernel 2.6.32-40-generic; I'll be upgrading to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS once it's been out for a while.
