Hello Everyone, Thank you for your answers and new ideas. Stuart, why is it not possible. Is it a real limitation or because openbsd is just not coded to do that and it could be possible if the proper code was implemented ? Thank you > Le Mardi 18 octobre 2016 0h04, Alexander Hall a écrit

4th nic for pcengines apu2

2016-10-19 Thread Marko Cupać
