My reason for suggesting the Intel NICs is: I know they work. If you have other cards that work well, go for it. For me, getting an Intel nic, is a no brainer at something like 20-30EUR for a gigabit nic.If i find Intel i will get Intel ,but i spent a lot of hours searching for Intel NIC and non of the 20 biggest pc stores in my city have Intel NIC
I got these nics from amazon, if its possible for you:That's not an option for me.
In the core LMCE internal network:

In a md, to avoid the issue I was having with the nvidia driver for an onboard nic:

I personally would get an Intel NIC instead of an ASUS.The problem is that i cant find Intel NIC here , there are the ASUS ,TP-LINK, Belkin, Trendnet and Gembird and it seems to me that the ASUS one is the best and most expensive
Yes, I felt a little bit how Espergu feels his whole life.Check if there is Fuse in the adapter
But I did do research, I checked the symbols, I checked the manual.
Is it just a condensator that got fried, I do not see anything wrong (black, smelly) with the whole board.
The work that was done in this thread did not progress much further. Instead I developed a ProxyOrbiter client in Android that was simpler to develop and utilises existing backend functionality. This provides a reasonable user experience and is suitable for performing most interactions.Proxy Client works well ,i hoped for some application for Android like the Dianemo for the iOS ,that app looks nice (i've seen it on pics i dont have device to try it).
See this thread for details

And the code for this is here
http://svn.charonmedia.org/trac.cgi/browser/people/darrenmason/AndroidTouchOrbiter
Hoping to update this with increased functionality in line with the work that Andrew and the Dianemo guys are doing.

.If I were in your shoes, I'd get myself a nice supported Dianemo system.posde like i said before Dianemo is expensive system for me ,plus the price to get shipping here will cost me the price i will buy the barebone,plus the duty taxes i should pay, so Dianemo system will cost me as much as the hybrid and 3 md's together
Well Atom based Core's work fine as long as you recognise there limitations and those are mainly in the area of regens. My home Core is in fact Atom N270 based and it happily serves 3 zones and a heavy MythTV recording schedule. Regens are the single most intensive processing task that Core handle on a regular basis. So what this means in practice is that the more Orbiters & MD's you have and the higher the resolution they are set to the more complex the Regen process becomes and on even a fairly fast Atom based system this can mean very log regen times if you are regenning the whole system.From my experience with LMCE it needs too much regens so the option with atom is limited to couple of MD's and few Orbiters.My project is in early stage and it has 2 MDs and 2 Orbiters , but the plan is to have more than 6 Orbiters (in-wall mounts or android based tablets on the wall's) and 3-4 MD's, then i need something more powerful like Core 2 Duo or Core 2 Quad. I would go with Athlon II x2,x4 or maybe Phenom II or an Intel solution based on Core 2 or i3,i5 but i cant find solution for the case and board , and i dont have time to make it by my self.
Now this next statement is not intended as a plug for Dianemo at all (Honest!) but when we were in the process of transitioning to Dianemo 10.10 we noticed that there was a massive performance leap in a whole raft of areas when compared to earlier versions of LinuxMCE/Dianemo and these were particularly noticeable on boot up of MD's, in the Orbiter and very much during Regens. This performance gain was not because we had done any incredibly efficient patches or code changes (although we had done many of those too!) but because of numerous performance improvements in mysql and a whole raft of other packages. The end result is that these performance improvements make Atom based Cores even more viable now. We currently ship the new NC35 Atom based Hybrid Core and that is proving very popular indeed and the performance is more than good enough for upto 4 MD/MM's and a simialr number of audio Zones. The NC35 is a small unit will minimal internal expansion capability so the decision as to whether this type of Core is right for you swings back to expansion, expansion slots and other internal expansion options... all of which are limited on any Atom based Core.
Now I don't know if those improvements are in the 08.10/10.04 builds of LinuxMCE but they may well be and if they are then Atom based Cores & Hybrids are definitely viable.
All the best
Andrew
i would not recommend something like that for use as a hybrid, it just doesnt have enough power.The hybrid is in server room but in rack not in front of a TV there will be MD ,i cannot put bigger pc case than nano box in the rack ,always some of the dimensions are making me problems.Most of them are the longer (the rack is 250mm deep).
if you are limited on space at the tv, consider using a dedicated core and separate media director setup, or use cat5/6 cable extenders to connect the media equipment to a md or hybrid in another location.
Anybody feel free to correct me if I am wrong, from my limited knowledge I believe 1004 will support PXE boot of the Foxconn though it is not supported in any 810 snapshots so you will need to go through the whole exercise of adding support for this NIC and then make an image of your system like I did so you don't have to go through the same pain every time............I have left the Foxconn on the back of the plasma turned off until I see a final release in 1004 as I find it too painful to keep testing snapshots only to find something else is broken.Hey Beeker as i got it ,it will be supported but it will be not in the Diskless ,you should do it alone again.
I have a snapshot from Feb last year that I use and so occasionally I will do an update and upgrade to get the new features but sometimes it screws the core so I just revert to my original image and do a restore in 6 mins and everything is back up and running. I have to say I did an update and upgrade to the core and md last week and everything is working great even Asterisk so I intend to make an image of this and that way I don't have to re download 650mb or more of updates
Cheers
Beeker
