Be careful --- this is pretty much the same setup I have (except I bought four 16GB USB sticks [30MB/s read, 15MB/s write via RAID-0, heh heh heh] and so far I've noticed that the SheevaPlug is very, very picky about USB hubs. I've tried three hubs, an expensive branded D-Link 7-port and two cheapo Scan 4-port own brand ones of different models. Only one of the Scan hubs works reliably. The others produce I/O errors, spontaneous disconnects, and general badness. While I still haven't finished gathering data, they *do* seem to work fine on a desktop PC, which kinda points the finger at the SheevaPlug.

How are you with a soldering iron? The kernel supports both ports already! I'm planning to use a USB ethernet widget on mine. - -- ┌─── ｄｇ＠ｃｏｗｌａｒｋ．ｃｏｍ ───── http://www.cowlark.com ───── │ │ "People who think they know everything really annoy those of us who │ know we don't." --- Bjarne Stroustrup -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFKBxe4f9E0noFvlzgRAhWCAKDGtaYvXA428yyzD843/QN6ADgbDACeI63Y xTRjomC3OLZ4tzlNeH/C1co= =lWVV -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-arm-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
