True point about SSL/fp math ( though vectorization features are lovely, which also makes the modern style ARM's more interesting ) and we're not looking at throughput there as much as many & repeated (costly) setup/teardown cycles. Right now, the sheevaplug/Seagate looks like a very good place to start with proof of concept setup, (along with the guruplug devkit) Anything beats the via systems (686 without cmov) and their notoriously broken/flaky USB-support which is enough to give me nightmares ;) Thanks again, everyone DmD _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
