Good morning,

Recently we bought an appliance from mini-itx.com to be used as a
router, etc ...  http://www.mini-itx.com/store/?c=40
It's a rough appliance that has 6 ethernets (2x1000Mb inboard / 4 100Mb ).
The problem is that until linux kernel 2.6.28 there is no support in
the kernel for the agere gigabit etherntets with the driver et131x.
So there was the need to compile.

I've to say that altough having to compile the kernel from scratch,
following this excellent guide:
http://wiki.voyage.hk/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=voyage_kernel
Everything worked perfectly and now I've a .deb that enables the two
gigabit ports.

If anyone want's the .deb file or some more details, I'd be glad to help.

Cheers
