The APU1C works fine for a home network. The only 2 things I

the CPU temperature and the link LED's are off when the Ethernet

support forum, but I guess there's no desire to fix it. Oh well.
Call me crazy, but when OpenBSD takes over control of the Realtek
chips,
isn't it OpenBSD's responsibility to program them properly, not the
BIOS?
Well, using any version of OpenBSD 5.5 and newer the LEDs work right
with this NIC.

With this NIC, which is the one in the APU, the LEDs don't work
right.

So, the question is why don't the LEDs work right on the NIC in the
APU? The NIC in the APU is very similar to the one that the LEDs do
work right on.
And what was the answer of Realtek on such question? ;-) It may be nice
curiosity.
I'm pretty sure the FreeBSD Realtek driver is the same as the OpenBSD
one, although I haven't tried FreeBSD on an APU. Or have I tried
Linux on one. I guess I could try both on the APU to see if there's
any difference.
