Dear OpenBSD users, I plan to build a pair of OpenBSD firewalls to implement bandwidth limiting using bridged interfaces.
I'd like to find some hardware to perform this task. I can't find anything small enough to be cost effective. So I'm looking into building my own system. The main item I wish to get right is the system mainboard. Has anybody used a D945GNTLKR Intel mainboard? It has (column 2 from) http://www.intel.com/design/motherbd/nt/nt_available.htm Nevertheless, the spec says..... "Gigabit (10/100/1000 Mbits/sec) LAN subsystem using the Intel. 82573E/82573V/82574V Gigabit Ethernet Controller" I notice that the 4V variety is not listed in the em driver. Could anybody clarify a possible issue with this. Does the 4V version have supported drivers? Cheers Rob I also need to find a rack case to fit it all in.... For the interested, here's my current ebuyer.co.uk shopping basket.
