Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] [BULK] Quad port nic

[Jacob S. <dev...@js...>]

NSA 1045, Looks very nice I have asked my hardware supplier to see if he can find prices for them.

I am used to running DL with CD boot, so sorry if my coming question is dumb :)

Do you run DL from the harddrive or the CF, if you run it from the harddrive is there an easy way 
to do upgrades? To the latest DL.

I am quite used to just sending along a new CD and a USB pen.

Thanx a lot for the NSA recommendation, a lot more professional looking than what I run today :)

Kind regards.

Hi Jacob,

I have one of these in an older firewall:
Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82546EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller 
(rev 01)
Subsystem: Intel Corporation PRO/1000 MT Quad Port Server Adapter

It works well, but it was relatively expensive I think. If you don't need 
Gigabit, you might find cheaper ones....


I now buy Nexcom appliances, and I'm sure a "NSA 1045" with two FE and two 
GBit ports is in the same price range than the intel adapter. Check these 
out, they are really neat for Devil-Linux: rackmountable, all ports on the 
front-panel, integrated CFlash reader, serial console. It's exactly what you 
need to build a firewall, and nothing more. NSA 1042 (4 GB ports) are around 
600€ the last time I bought some.

Good luck,


Frank
