Cobalt Qube
Hi Shallax, it's me again
I saw that you've got a Qube2 and I'd like to know where you bought it? (I searched on Sun's homepage but I found only specifications..)
Thanks,

They dont make them anymore (havent done so for years)... you'll have to get them second hand.
I'm also starting to think it wasn't such a good buy - the drivers for the network adaptors (tulip) suck, you cant get more than 1.5MBps through them and they keep locking up.

ebay.com would be the most common place to find a Qube2/Raq2.
@Shallax, What kernel version are you running, ive heard a few different kernel versions work with no hangups in the tulip driver (although I havent tested this yet, my raq2 is still in the mail :\

maybe it only craps out when you use both bulit in NIC's? Perhaps use one onboard NIC and slap one in the PCI slot to help fix the issue if you wanna stray away from the commercial routers?

What patches did you apply to 2.4.24-pre2?
Both those from CoLo site? None? Inquiring minds want to know![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)

although i cant begin to understand what they mean by editing the patches of which they speak

Paypal link has always been on the main gentoox website. I dont think I'll risk the PCI NIC, though - I'd rather just get a commercial router now... one that I can rely on. Any donations from now will go towards that (unless someone wants to find me another tiny linux-capable box with two integrated NICs).
Thanks!
