Most of the NIC cards with BCM chip should be < $50. Maybe enough of us bugging Broadcom, they will open up the SDK. -- -Tony Having a lot of fun with Xilinx Virtex Pro II reconfigurable HW + ppc + Linux - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
