Are you sure about your CPU? I make it as an Atom N450:- http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Atom_n450&redirect=no in which case you "might" get more mileage with amd64.... Appears that some parts of the board are non-standard:- http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-i2c/msg03462.html I could tell you more about the nic if I could just get the *&&^%$! website to let me download the driver :-X You might fare better than I:- http://support.advantech.com.tw/support/DownloadSRDetail.aspx?SR_ID=1-EO41P3&Doc_Source=Download Cheers -- There is no path to where no others have gone -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
