Re: [Gumstix-users] cheap mmc reader/writer?

[Manohar K. <man...@gm...>]

Hi All,
         I am a newbie to the Gumstix world. I was wondering if someone
could help me choose the correct specs that I need and also clarify a few
questions I had.

1. Does Gumstix come with a network port or ethernet cable output as well?
Is this an add-on that I could purchase?
2. I need about 1-2 GB storage on this USB device for a network
application.... does this mean that I need to add an MMC card? Is there
something about the MMC slots that I need to know before I can make the
purchase?

Also my question, Say one of these devices was connected to Computer A on
the USB port, would it then be possible for say a Computer B to connect and
access the application on this USB device via the net through an IP address?
How does the USB device acquire an IP address and how will it appear on the
external net to some other computer trying to connect to it?

Is there some reference material that someone can show me in regards to the
networking capabilities of this device?

Cheers and thanks in advance,
MK
