I Missread it, just noticed they said they don't know the homehub not what it was.
Freenas is good but It didn't seem to like my Sata card
(actually i think its the pc that doesn't its very fussy about addon cards)
Linux didn't seem to care though and its all working...
Haven't put a 1gbit card in yet, did think about doing that but I thought with that and the sata card all that would happen was congestion on the PCI bus.
I'd have to replace the switch on my desk and add 1Gbit/s nics to both machines (my current dtop only has a 100mbit onboard, although the previous one had a Gigabit nic)
My desktop would be the only machine to benefit from the speedboost since the laptops/downstairs machine go over a wireless and powerline link to get there anyway.
