Re: [Leaf-devel] DFE-570TX ?

[Kenneth H. <nc...@ho...>]

Very cool...was hoping that the DFE-570TX would work...I'm using a 1U Antec
Rack Case for a Dachstein router that I need at least three NIC's on (im
setting up a script that will change the default route on the router to
whichever of my two ISP's that's active)... and I really didn't want to deal
with Aliases nor deal with some NIC that doesn't have source code available
for Linux...

Thanks a bunch!
