An old thread, but one that was worth keeping.  I'm about to put together
an EPIA-M based system to be my new router/firewall/mail-web-mp3-server so
I've been going through the archives to see if I can distill exactly which
hardware on these boards is and isn't supported.  I think I have a pretty
good idea now, but I wonder if anyone out there is running 4.8R or a recent
-STABLE on one of these and can confirm for sure that:

	- The onboard vr(4) Ethernet is now working reliably at 100Mbps?

	- The USB ports work, but only in USB 1.1 compatibility mode?

	- The Firewire ports are recognised, and can successfully drive a
	  FireWire disk?

Note that I'm most interested in the EPIA *M* boards, the newer ones with
USB 2.0, Firewire and hardware MPEG decoding (not that I'll be using
that...), rather than the original EPIA.

Many thanks in advance,

	Scott
