Dear OpenBSD users,
I plan to build a pair of OpenBSD firewalls to implement bandwidth limiting using bridged interfaces.
I'd like to find some hardware to perform this task. I can't find anything small enough to be cost effective.
So I'm looking into building my own system.
The main item I wish to get right is the system mainboard.
Has anybody used a D945GNTLKR Intel mainboard?
It has
(column 2 from) http://www.intel.com/design/motherbd/nt/nt_available.htm
Nevertheless, the spec says.....
"Gigabit (10/100/1000 Mbits/sec) LAN subsystem
using the Intel. 82573E/82573V/82574V Gigabit Ethernet Controller"
I notice that the 4V variety is not listed in the em driver.
Could anybody clarify a possible issue with this. Does the 4V version have supported drivers?
Cheers
Rob
I also need to find a rack case to fit it all in....
