If so, I'm off to place bids!
We both uses the 570 and the 580 here with debian stable. Allthough i had some troubles getting the driver in the stock kernel to work with 580 (i ended up downloading driver source from d-link italia and compile it against the kernel version i was running). The 570 is rock stable we are using it in gateways and firwalls all around our company and i have nothing bad to say about it. It uses the tulip driver in the kernel. -- Venlig hilsen/Kind regards Thomas Kirk ARKENA tlf/phone +4570233456 thomas(at)arkena(dot)com Http://www.arkena.com-- "Kill my boss?
