Thanks guys. I never seen these devices. They seem promising. I don't think they can do a PCI(x) card right? Not miniPCI. But I am very interested to know the price for these units. I don't see it listed on their site. Do you know their main distributers and online resellers?
P.S. If this an Atom board/Intel CPU, how come there are 6 NIC ports on them? Have you guys pried open one of these?
