Kinda upset at the lack of response to GBe issues

[waldo]

@waldo,

I too am an IT professional for almost 30 years with IBM. I am fluent in over twenty-five software engineering languages, and I am a networking expert and specialist (professionally and as a hobby). You do not have to agree with me, but I would appreciate it if you would be respectful and considerate;  my opinions are not 'BS' and they are no less valid than your own.

We are not talking about a 48 port $2,860.00 Cisco N2K-C2248TP-1GE router !  We are talking about a $29 SBC running codes written by volunteers, hoping them to be helpful and useful, providing not one iota of warranty or promises for suitability for a particular purpose.

Many of these boards are running around the world satisfactorily. Several of these boards are working NOW that were previously NOT working by making adjustments to the environment. This is a fact, not an opinion, and it is a fact, not BS.

Many of us volunteers are in the process of getting to the bottom of this;  we are not getting paid for it, and we do not deserve to be abused for it either.  I am sorry that your expectations have not been met, and I certainly regret that you are not a happy Pinester. But as a moderator on this forum I am asking that your comments be respectful, and that you check ad hominem attacks at the door. Try to put this problem in perspective, and try to maintain a decorum which not only respects all users of this forum, but which is conducive for motivating volunteers to continue to work on this problem.

Thank you for your consideration.

Mark ... the N2K-C2248TP-1GE  is a switch , not even that ....its a fabric extender that nees a nexus 5000 or 7000 to be its babysitter ... so lets ignore your attack on me now 


The fact this is about cheap boards doesn't matter Gigabit is gigabit ... moreso my odroid that is in the same priceclass is also capabnle of doing it just fine.
The fact that you as a moderator feel this comment was derogatory shows, i think you have quite short fuse .... also don't forget this is not my mother tongue so nuances might get lost.

What i said was BS was your statement on gigabit still being in a stage where products are in some 'draft' standard mode that's not fully compatible yet ....
...GbE over copper was ratified in 1999 .... we're 17 years later ...... therefore i think yr statement qualifies as *hogwash*


edit : could you please explain how 2 boards react differently in the same environment, if I shouldn't blame the boards ?
