Should I contact Soekris about this? It seems like its not a problem with linux, if others have not seen these issues. Does anyone have any ideas, short of a hardware problem, what might cause issues like I'm seeing? I have my networking hardware on a line-interactive AVR UPS, including the Soekris, the cable "modem", and GbE switch. Personally, I'm stumped. I can try pfSense, and see how that goes, but I don't have high hopes. -- Thomas Fjellstrom tho...@fjellstrom.ca _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list Soekris-tech@lists.soekris.com http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
