Dual ethernet mini-ITX Atom boards

I was planning on buying one of those mini-ITX atom boards and and running Astaro on it, but I need more information regarding the ethernet support.

As of today I've only been able to find one of these boards with dual ethernet devices, which will only be available by the end of the month (Jetway JNC91 - http://mini-itx.com/19499281). Has anyone heard of any other Atom dual LAN boards?

I've read the thread concerning the Jetway C7 motherboard and the lack of support of the gigabit ethernet devices due to a driver bug, and I suspect the same Realtek devices could be integrated in the JNC91. Does anyone has any information regarding the support of these devices in the near future?

Thanks in advance for your time

Hi Barry, how well does the Atom n270 work with ASG? I like the Intel Atom D945GSEJT because of the low power consumption, but I'm concerned on how the performance may be?

Hi, my MSI board has been working great.

fatturbos, Note that the Intel D945GSEJT only has 1 NIC, and it's a Realtek RTL8111 which should work in Astaro 7.5, but you do need at least 2 NICs.

Bleubanana, the IPS (snort) and HTTP/SMTP AntiVirus features are normally going to be what limits throughput, but you can create exceptions if you want to copy large files between different LANs or DMZs, and then 100mbit+ would be no problem.

I wouldn't really recommend a mini-itx system for use at work unless you're going to stock some spare parts, as sometimes the power supplies aren't the most reliable (I haven't had trouble with mine though).

My system does run a little warm, but it's gotten to 100F in my home office and I've never had a crash.

Hi, I'm not sure why you say "Network Drivers are available for download"; you can't easily add drivers to Astaro.

That rackmount SuperMicro looks nice, but note that systems with the 945GC chipset will use around 45watts versus 17watts for a 945GSE chipset, although you can get a dual-core Atom with a GC.
