Thanks Chris, Good call on the NIC. Looking at the ASRock web site for it http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?Model=H67M-ITX&cat=Specifications it says it's a Realtek RTL8111E. I believe I could use the drivers on http://homepage2.nifty.com/mrym3/taiyodo/eng/ for it with luck? If worst come to worse though I could probably just get a cheap USB NIC for the time being.
I'm more worried about the ability to boot/install OpenIndiana on the RocketHybrid 1220 :) On Sat, 2011-05-07 at 10:15 +0100, Chris Ridd wrote: > On 7 May 2011, at 09:54, Scott O'Brien wrote: > > > Hi Everyone, > > > > I've not posted in a long while.
