Speaking of Soekris (and the PCEngines ALIX by extension, of which I
have several):
Does anyone know of a comparable small SBC that doesn't have crummy
NICs? Not a big fan of those VT6105M chips. Extra points for the
ability to do baby jumbo frames.
Also, from time to time I have to reflash these to repurpose them
(NanoBSD vs. pfSense vs. AskoziaPBX). It's a complete pain to
disassemble their enclosures so I can get at the CF cards. I've often
thought that if someone had whipped up a memory-resident image of
something (anything, linux/bsd/whatever) that I could pxeboot, then I
could just dd the new image in over the net. Haven't gotten around to
doing that yet. Has anyone else?
